Welcome

Planet Homeschool is a vibrant and welcoming secular learning community for homeschooling families with students ages 10 and up in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area in Minnesota. Our classes are led by teachers who are passionate about their craft and actively engaged in their fields. We attract an exceptional group of lively and intellectually curious students who truly enjoy being here. PHS is supported and led by talented parents whose great ideas have helped build our co-op from its start in 2000.

The PHS learning environment is characterized by small class sizes, a comfortable and informal atmosphere, and close relationships among instructors, students, and parents. Students have common gathering spaces for studying and socializing and ample free time to get to know one another.

Families are welcome to register their students for a full load of four classes or as few as one class each semester. It is up to each family to determine their student's schedules. We do recommend that new families with students ages 10 or 11 consider starting with one or two classes to give their student time to adjust to PHS gradually and to make sure our teen-centered co-op is a good fit for their younger student.

Parents are expected to share in the administrative and supervisory aspects of the co-op.

Parents of 10- and 11-year-old students who are new to PHS are expected to stay at PHS during their students' first semester of classes. Parents of students 12 and up and returning PHS students are welcome to stay but can also drop off their children. On occasion, teachers or PHS volunteer administrators may ask that a parent of an older child stay on-site if they think that will work better for the student and will help the co-op function more smoothly for all.

We meet on Fridays throughout the school year at Faith United Methodist Church (2708 33rd Ave NE, Saint Anthony Village, MN 55418).
