We’ve made the decision to pause Knowledge Seekers Homeschool Collective in its current form for the upcoming school year due to the loss of our teacher and our current location in quick succession.

We are deeply grateful to all of the families who have been part of our community and are very proud of what we created together.

This has been a time of mixed feelings for me. I, along with many others (because we never create something meaningful in isolation), built something truly wonderful and impactful. As I look ahead, I’m trying something new: giving myself permission not to push forward too quickly, but instead to create space for the next opportunity to come naturally. That said, I am creating something new.

We are growing something different, a Quasi Co-op.
-In development
-Hands on/Project Based
-Parent Involvement OR Drop off
-Connection/Community

Why Quasi? Because I want to meet more of the needs of the homeschool community.

Some people want drop-off; some people want to be more involved in their kids’ education.

This would be a learning environment for the Sciences, the Arts, and Social Studies.

LA & Math infused in, but not the main subjects.
