How We Work

We Know, We Are Unique...

Flexible, Accessible and Tailored to Your Family

At The Village, we know we’re not like any other homeschool community, and that’s exactly how we thrive. We are a collective of chapters, each hosting one or more tribes, and each tribe a vibrant, inclusive village where families and children belong.

We operate year-round in four 12-week sessions, giving families the flexibility and consistency to explore, grow, and connect. Each chapter designs its own schedule of clubs, classes, and celebrations. Each built by the families and leaders who know their children best. From hands-on learning projects to creative arts, social gatherings, and seasonal celebrations, every session reflects the passions, strengths, and needs of its unique tribes.

Our structure ensures that every child can find a place to learn, explore, and thrive while staying connected to the larger Village community. Homeschooling is not one path, it’s a constellation of journeys, and together, we make sure no family walks alone.

How We Work
A step-by-step guide for every new member

Start by Finding Your Tribe

Become a Member and Join the Fun

The first step is to connect with a Village near you using our Find Your Tribe tool. This simple feature helps you locate an active homeschool group in your area that’s already part of our seasonal co-op network. Each Village is led by local families who bring their unique flavor and energy to the community. Don’t see one near you? That’s okay! We’re here to help you start one. Whether you're new to homeschooling or just tired of doing it alone, we’ll guide you through creating a local chapter that brings families together to learn, grow, and support one another.

Once you’ve found (or started) your local Village, you can choose to become a seasonal member. Don't worry, it's free (although registration and signed waivers required)! This gives your family access to our full calendar of classes, clubs, field trips, and community events for that season. These gatherings are led by fellow parents, volunteers, and trusted educators, with offerings that vary by location and interest. In addition to the seasonal membership, you’ll register separately for the specific classes or events you want to attend, paying only for what fits your family’s needs and schedule. This flexible, pay-as-you-go format gives you full control while still feeling connected.

Stay for a Season or a Lifetime

The Village is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you join us for a single class, a full season, or keep coming back year after year, our goal is the same: to make homeschooling feel less overwhelming and a lot more joyful. Members often tell us that what started as “just one class” turned into real friendships, lasting memories, and a sense of belonging they didn’t know they were missing. So come as you are. Try what fits. And grow with us, season after season.

“The Village has been a blessing for our family.”
“My kids have found real friends here, and I’ve found a supportive community of parents who truly get it. The balance of academics, creativity, and connection has helped my children grow in confidence and reminded me that learning can be joyful again.”
