About the Hub

The big-picture details about who we are, who we serve, and how we support your homeschool.

What is The Homeschool Hub?

We are a place where homeschooling families can come together for academic support, enrichment, hands-on learning, and community. We provide classes, study sessions, clubs, and other learning opportunities that complement what families are already doing at home.

Is this a homeschool co-op?

No. While we encourage community and collaboration, we are not a traditional co-op. Parents are not required to teach or volunteer in exchange for participation, although there may be opportunities to get involved if they choose.

Who is this for?

Our setup is designed for homeschooling families looking for additional educational support, social opportunities, accountability, or specialized classes.

What ages do you serve?

Our core programs currently serve students in grades 7–12. We also have a lower elementary group, and younger siblings may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.

Do you replace homeschooling?

No. Parents remain the primary educators and are responsible for meeting their state’s homeschool requirements. We offer support and enrichment for your homeschool journey.

Are you faith-based?

Yes. The Homeschool Hub is built on biblical principles and seeks to cultivate wisdom, character, and a love of learning through a Christian worldview.

What if I’m new to homeschooling? Can you help me get started?

Absolutely. Whether you are beginning your homeschool journey or transitioning from another educational setting, we are here to help. We can answer questions, share resources, explain your options, and connect you with groups that offer helpful resources.

Our goal is to encourage and support families as they build confidence in homeschooling.

Learning

Courses & academics

How curriculum, class time, homework, feedback, and different learning needs come together.

Do you follow a specific curriculum?

Yes. This year we are using the curriculum listed below, along with additional activities that help children and teens engage with each lesson. Active participation can improve both comprehension and interest.

  • World Geography & Cultures — Master Books
  • Elements of Faith — Master Books
  • The World’s Story 3 — Master Books
  • IEW Language Arts — Level B
  • IEW Language Arts — Level C
  • Foundations in Faith — Master Books
  • And more
Can you support a curriculum we already love?

Possibly. Curriculum support outside our current course list is considered on a case-by-case basis. Reach out so we can talk through what your student is using and the kind of support you need.

Can we look at the curriculum before enrolling?

Yes. We believe families should clearly understand what their students will be learning. Course descriptions, learning objectives, and curriculum information are available before registration. Whenever possible, we are happy to answer questions and provide additional details so you can make an informed decision.

Will my child receive grades?

Some classes may include feedback, quizzes, or grades for accountability, while others focus on participation and skill development. Parents decide how to use this information in their homeschool records.

Some homeschool families prefer not to use grades, while others thrive with that structure. During the initial consultation, we can discuss what works best for your family.

What does a typical academic day look like?

Our goal is to provide meaningful, engaging instruction that challenges students appropriately while supporting individual growth. Some classes are enrichment-focused, while others are more academically rigorous.

Most classes combine individual work, partner activities, and collaborative group projects. Some courses may include optional practice, while others require work to be completed at home before the next meeting. Homework expectations vary by course.

How much independent work is expected?

Students should be prepared to complete assignments independently between class meetings. Leaders are available to answer questions during class, but developing responsibility and independent learning skills is an important goal at The Homeschool Hub.

Because every homeschool journey is different, parents ultimately decide what happens outside scheduled class time.

Can parents help with homework?

Absolutely. We encourage parents to stay involved and support their students. Depending on the course, parents may review assignments, discuss concepts, or provide guidance while encouraging students to complete their own work.

Do you accommodate different learning styles?

We recognize that every child learns differently and strive to offer engaging, hands-on, and varied instructional methods whenever possible.

Together

Participation & community

What families can expect from attendance, communication, friendships, and the learning environment.

Is parent participation required?

Requirements vary by program. Some classes may ask parents to remain on-site, while others allow drop-off for older students. We will clearly communicate the expectation for each class.

Will my child have opportunities to make friends?

Absolutely. Building meaningful friendships and encouraging positive peer interactions are important goals of our learning community.

Do you offer field trips or special events?

Yes. Throughout the year, we hope to offer educational field trips, service projects, game days, workshops, and family events.

What is your behavior policy?

We strive to create a safe, respectful, and encouraging environment where every student can learn. Students are expected to treat others with kindness, follow instructor directions, and contribute positively to the learning environment.

How do you communicate with families?

We communicate through email, text messages, and phone calls. We do not rely on a separate platform for communication because we are intentionally building real community and direct relationships with families.

What level of commitment is expected?

The Homeschool Hub is designed to complement your homeschool, not replace it. Families should expect students to attend regularly, complete assigned work between meetings, and come prepared to participate.

Success in our programs depends on consistent attendance, personal responsibility, and parental support at home.
