Class Schedule
Classes meet on Fridays throughout the school year. Our calendar also includes breaks, holidays, field trips, and special activity days.

Key Club meets biweekly.
Members Participation & Guidelines
SWGHA is a volunteer-led, non-profit homeschool community, and the involvement of our families helps make our programs and events possible. Each member family is asked to participate by volunteering for at least one event or activity each semester, as well as assisting with cleanup on two class days per semester alongside another family. Volunteer sign-ups are coordinated by the Education Director, and reminders will be sent prior to scheduled dates.
General Guidelines
-
Friday classes and clubs are available to current SWGHA members only. Registration takes place during the Fall and Planning Meetings or online through Homeschool-Life.
-
Most classes are taught by volunteer instructors and are offered based on teacher availability. Occasionally, professional instructors may be hired for specialized classes that require an additional fee.
-
Families are encouraged to serve in ways that support the community, including teaching, assisting in classrooms, monitoring facilities, and helping with setup and cleanup.
-
Students under age 16 must be supervised by an adult while outdoors.
-
Students under age 16 must have a parent or guardian on site. Parents may briefly leave during class hours if another parent has agreed to supervise their student.
-
Children in K5 through 3rd grade must be picked up by a parent or guardian from their classroom at the end of each class period.
-
Please stay home if you or your children are feeling unwell.
-
To maintain a positive learning environment, please keep noise levels in hallways and fellowship areas to a minimum.
-
We ask all families to respect the facilities and grounds by cleaning up after themselves, returning items to their proper place, and taking personal belongings home each day.
-
Students who display disrespectful or inappropriate behavior will be referred to their parents. Continued inappropriate conduct may result in loss of participation privileges.
-
Students age 16 and older who drive may attend Friday classes without a parent present, provided they are actively participating in classes or activities. Students may not leave campus without permission.
-
Students age 16 and older may also attend with younger siblings when both students are participating in the same class or activity.
