How We Can Help...

Our Philosophy

We have a team of certified teachers here to assist you in your homeschool journey because we understand the importance of family AND the importance of a good education. But no one person can do it all, so let's support each other! We are happy to tailor our programs and create new ones to meet your needs, just ask. See below for the classes we are currently running and upcoming options as well. We limit classes to a maximum of 5 students. Homeschool Math classes are $15/hour and ELA classes are $20/hour. Don't see what you need? Reach out and we will see what we can do to help. We also offer private tutoring for students in Math and English (additional rates apply).

Reading and Math Assessments
