What is ANCHOR?

ANCHOR is a homeschool group designed to provide a fun, loving atmosphere to homeschooling families in the area, helping them to grow in their faith by Following Jesus, Loving People and Making Disciples.

What to Expect

ANCHOR provides many opportunities for families to do life together and develop long lasting friendships, such as special events, service projects, educational fairs, field trips, p.e., age group activities, and more.

What We Expect from You

ANCHOR is a completely volunteer-run organization. In order to provide all the activities listed above, each member is required to volunteer in 2 events per semester. We are families coming together to provide our best to our kids. You are a part of that!

What are Clubs

Clubs are opportunities for kids of all ages to learn as a group. Our Clubs vary in themes and duration. Parent involvement is usually needed to assist, lead or provide care to siblings. Club participation is included with your membership cost.

What is Co-Op

Co-Op is an add-on to your ANCHOR membership. If you opt to do co-op, your kids will have the opportunity to participate in 1 or 2 classes per semester, while you will join a teaching team and teach your preferred age group (as available). Co-Op classes are enrichment classes and not meant to take place of your home-based curriculum. Each semester of co-op lasts 9 to 12 weeks. Full commitment necessary.
