We are a secular and inclusive family-led cooperative organized to create engaging learning opportunities and a warm community of fellow homeschoolers. We welcome families regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability, or class.

We are a collaborative group of families that work together to provide classes for children ages 5-18 on Tuesdays and Thursdays in a space near downtown Silver Spring. All classes are facilitated by parent, caregiver, and/or student members. As a true cooperative, we have no paid staff. All registration and class fees pay for rental of our space and general shared supplies. We are not a school or a homeschooling umbrella. We are not a drop off program. 

Inclusion means more than a welcome. We are a community that practices openness and care across differences, extends grace to each other as we learn, and works to reduce harm while supporting all members in showing up as fully as possible. We are not perfect and don't expect perfection! We commit to each other that we will pause, make efforts to repair harm with humility and a willingness to keep showing up for one another.
