About Homeschool First

Homeschool First is a secular homeschool co-op that serves families in Lynchburg, Virginia and the surrounding areas.

Mission and Purpose

At Homeschool First (HSF), we are committed to helping every member grow into a whole person. We cultivate connection through community events, expand knowledge through academic pursuits, and inspire purpose through service opportunities that allow us to contribute to those around us. We are dedicated to fostering a welcoming and inclusive community.

Our foremost purpose is to serve one another in all things. In support of that mission, we offer classes for preschool through high school, field trips, volunteer opportunities, and social and educational events for our members.

Host Facility

Our classes meet at Chestnut Hill United Methodist Church located at 4660 Fort Ave, Lynchburg, VA 24502. Visit their website.
