We are in our eighth year of providing educational programs to home-schooled children and youth, serving 23 participants, ages five to fourteen. The programs supplement the children’s schooling with their parents. Programs are offered on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from September through May. There are generally 10-14 children a day. Costs for the programs range between $20-25 per day.
On Tuesdays the focus is history, writing, geography, projects and literature. On Thursday and Friday the focus is natural history, science, traditional song and dance, art, and literature, and twice a day children simply play. Children who attend Tuesday also attend one of the other days. On Thursday and Friday children eat a community lunch, in which all bring a part of the lunch, eating the same food and sitting and conversing together.
