Q:

A:

Homeschool First is a support group for families who have chosen to educate their children at home. 

The mission of Homeschool First, Inc. is to facilitate educational and social opportunities for homeschool families in our local community. Homeschool First, Inc. provides a volunteer organizational structure to allow for homeschool classes, field trips, social events, support meetings for homeschool parents, and educational city-wide events.

We are not a "drop-off" co-op. Parents must remain on the property while their children are in classes. 

We are not affiliated with any church or other home education group. We are supported solely by annual membership dues.

Q:

A:

Annual membership dues are $75 per family.

This covers the cost of insurance, facilities, website fees, and other expenses.

Q:

A:

Tuition for Friday classes begins at $70 per child for a 14-week semester class.

Tuition for classes that meet on Tuesdays and Fridays, which are mostly high school level classes, start at $140 per child for a 14-week semester.

Some classes have supply fees that are added on top of the regular tuition costs.  

Class tuition is paid directly to the teacher of the class. Each class has a tuition payment schedule listed at the top of the class description. We ask that tuition payments not be made until the first class day.

Please see our Classes page for more information about individual class fees.

Class size varies based on interest, and limits are set by each teacher. A typical class will have anywhere from three to ten students.

No, enrolling your children in our classes is not required. You can become a member and choose to only participate in social events, such as field trips, teen events, preteen events, kids events, family events, members only events, and more! (We have an extensive social calendar.)
