Looking for a New Homeschool Group?
Homeschoolers by the Sea was founded in 1994 to support Christian homeschool families in the St. Johns area. We have two membership plans to provide more options for your family. Whether your family is looking for organized weekly classes or a more relaxed atmosphere only to socialize, we hope HBTS will be the perfect fit!
HBTS is not an umbrella shool and all families are responsible for fulfilling their district's homeschool requirements. Families can choose the curriculum that works best for their children to complete at home and then join our co-op for enrichment. We can't wait to meet you!
Our group includes two types of members: co-op members and general members.
