SAMC Homeschool Ministry

* Feast Day Parties

* Teen Events
* Field Trips
* Parent Retreats
* Parent Breakfasts
* Parent Night Out
* and More!

Laude Homeschool Co-op

Laude Co-op, a service of SAMC Homeschool Ministry, provides academic and extra-curricular classes in a supportive community based on our common faith.

We offer a wide array of classes for grades K-12 taught by experienced parents from our co-op as well as several professional teachers.

Parent-taught classes are supply fee only, making Laude an affordable option for families.

As a true homeschool cooperative, all member families serve either by teaching or providing support to the co-op day through duty requirements including set up, clean up, or monitoring lunch and hallways.

Homeschooling in the Catholic Tradition

"Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule. The home is well suited for education in the virtues." Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 2223

SAMC Homeschool Ministry and Laude Co-op provide a Catholic learning environment for homeschooling families in San Antonio, Texas. We abide by the teaching authority of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and assist each other in our mission as primary educators. SAMC Homeschool Ministry and Laude Co-op are available to every homeschooling family, according to the universal nature of the Catholic Church. In order to participate in the Homeschool Ministry and/or Laude Co-op, every parent and student must respect the Catholic identity of our ministry and our members.
