Snohomish County Secular Homeschool Community
This community evolves with the needs of its people. I am a simple homeschool mom who is doing her best to build an open-minded social and educational community for my family and yours.
WELCOME
We are a secular homeschool community that aims to connect and become a village. Homeschooling alone is hard. Our center is about freedom and respect. There is no set structure or commitment. Give and take what you need. We homeschool because we want to be able to learn at individualized paces and participate at different levels. Our core "staff" try to bring together affordable guided activities led by professionals. Humans/children learn through play. Our vibrant and inclusive educational community believes academic excellence, child freedom, and personal growth go hand in hand. Our experienced and dedicated guides strive to find their own interests and strengths and use them to assist children find theirs. Our communitysocial programs provide opportunities for all kids in the community to join us and explore their interests and develop their talents. We are committed to creating an adventurous environment that is not afraid to take risks and trust children with freedom of choice.
Current events
We are not a drop-off enrichment activities place. However, Depending on your kids, their age, and their easiness of disposition. It can be considered, but……it’s as a friend, not as a teacher. :).
Monday is LARP, register and join FB page
Friday is a Zoom parent coffee and Socratic discussion meet-up. We highly encourage members of the community to attend. We are HOPING to build a community. Not an enrichment activities center. Come join, share and learn.
On Fridays, I am currently doing swim lessons at Lynwood Recreation Center. You have to pre-register.
The cost is 7$, but that is for the use of the recreation center. I’m not doing swim lessons through them. It’s child-led. The only cost is what the facility charges.
​
On the first Thursday of the month, we do the free first Thursday of the month field trip. There are events at the FB site. Other Thursdays are currently alternating meetings between my house and the Everett public library downstairs auditorium for our Building with Friends (Legos, Lincoln logs, magnet blocks, duplos, and tinker toys provided; do not bring your own), FFT museums,
