Planet Homeschool is a secular homeschool co-op for middle-school and high-school students ages 10 years to 19 years.

Planet Homeschool is open to all faiths, beliefs, and educational styles. In all that we do, we work to include, respect, and learn from individual differences in ability, gender, culture, race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, and educational philosophy.

There are three steps to becoming a member of our co-op:

Step 1

Create a family profile by completing the form below.

New members must have at least one child who will be 10 years old or older by the first day of class.
