Corner of Grand and Barnes
Homeschoolers’ Academy is a Christian co-op that meets on Monday afternoons from 12:30-4:00.  Student ages 4-13 enjoy Art, Music, Drama, and P.E.  Our high school students, ages 14-17, will be offered Creative Writing, Speech/Debate, Personal Finance, and a Science lab during the 2011-2012 school year.

We are a teaching co-op that hires qualified teachers to instruct each of our classes.  This leaves our parents free for several hours each week.  We simply ask that parents volunteer a minimum of 4 afternoons per year.  Nursery is provided for teachers, assistants, and parents who are volunteering on a specific day.   Rates and class descriptions can be found on the website.
