Our 3 Core Values:

Community

 At Round Table, we believe that meaningful relationships are at the heart of a thriving homeschool community. Our goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where every family feels seen, valued and encouraged to belong.

We value kindness, inclusion, respect and the understanding that every person brings something unique to our community. We hope to cultivate a community where both children and adults find not only opportunities to learn, but also long lasting friendships and a place to truly belong. 

Agency 

We believe children thrive when they have opportunities to make choices about their own learning. While many educational settings must follow a predetermined curriculum and schedule, homeschooling offers a unique freedom to pursue interests, explore curiosity and learn in ways that reflect each child's individuality.

At Round Table we value student agency by creating opportunities for children to have a voice in what they learn and how they participate. Whenever possible, we encourage classes that invite curiosity, creativity and choice. When children are able to follow their interests and contribute to their learning experience, they are often more engaged, more motivated and more invested in the process.

We hope to nurture not only a lifelong love of learning, but also capable, thoughtful individuals who trust themselves to explore, create and grow.

Exploration

 We believe children learn best when they are given opportunities to explore, create, play and discover.

A huge body of research shows that play is critical to learning. Through play, children develop creativity, resiliency, communication skills, problem solving skills and countless other life skills. Some of the most important learning happens in moments that don't look like traditional academics.

At Round Table, we offer experiences that may be difficult to provide in more structured educational settings. Through the collective talents of our families, children are invited to participate in hands-on projects, practical skills, outdoor adventures, artistic expression and meaningful experiences that encourage curiosity and independence.
