Application Procedure / Fees

Request a registration packet on line. There is a small affordable family fee per semester (this fee varies).

Some classes have supplies fees, these are also kept low for affordability.

Introduction / Welcome Message

Low stress, low fees for families who are interested in social, educational, enrichment activities and support. We are intentionally smaller than many other groups for the purpose of developing a warm, caring community where each person can know and be known by others.

Support Group Demographic

Multi-denominational Christian, others are welcome to join. We have a variety of methods and approaches to homeschooing.

Support Group Vision / Mission Statement

Our purpose is to encourage and nurture families who have chosen to home school their children by providing an environment that is Christ-centered, positive, educationally enriching and supports parents in their efforts to educate and develop Godly character in their children. We believe that each family has the right and privilege of expressing their faith in Jesus Christ according to the Bible and the dictates of their own conscience.

OBJECTIVE: Classes are offered not to replace your child's curriculum or to teach any one particular expression of Christianity, but to enhance your child's learning experience. Parents work together to provide learning and social opportunities in a friendly, safe, Christian environment.

* Meadows meets every other Tuesday during the traditional school year. Classes are offered for all ages with a special emphasis on middle and high school classes. Students are grouped by age rather than grade level.
