We are in our ninth year of providing educational programs to home-schooled children and youth, serving 22 participants, ages five to sixteen. The programs supplement the children’s schooling with their parents. Programs are offered on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from September through May. There are generally 10-14 children a day. Costs range between $20-25 per day.
On Tuesdays the focus is history, writing, geography, projects and literature. Wednesday is teen day and the focus is project based learning and environmental issues. 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 children eat a community lunch, in which all bring a part of the lunch, eating the same food and sitting and conversing together. The other days participants bring their own lunch.
