NK Homeschool Community is a nonprofit organization serving local homeschool families. Our mission is to help families build belonging, share hands-on learning, and support one another through parent-led Tuesday classes, Monday park and community days, field trips, events, and year-round connection.
Yes, kids are being socialized. No, they do not need a giant school to do it.
NK Homeschool Community gives families a dependable place for hands-on learning, real friendships, and the kind of shared support that makes homeschooling feel sustainable.
A nonprofit built for practical community benefit
NK Homeschool Community is here to help local homeschool families find community, share learning, and build dependable support together.
NK Homeschool Community + Monday is free, and Tuesday fees help cover the facility and shared systems that keep the co-op dependable and affordable.
Parents and Eagles bring interests and skills into classes, clubs, workshops, and community activities.
Park days, field trips, events, and informal meetups help children and adults build lasting local relationships.
Member participation keeps the community affordable, responsive, and rooted in what local families actually need.

An active community, with privacy built in
NK Homeschool Community plans park days, field trips, clubs, meetups, and other member events throughout the term. We share the current count without publishing private event details; the occasional event deliberately opened to public visitors appears below.
15 community events planned for Fall 2026
This count excludes Tuesday co-op dates. Most event details remain inside the member calendar so family plans, locations, attendance, and discussions stay private.
Public visitor events are occasional
Most activities are planned for member families. A public event will appear here only after an organizer confirms that its details and location are appropriate for anonymous visitors.
What a week at NK Homeschool Community feels like
NK Homeschool Community is not a drop-off program or a rigid school. It is a community families build together, with enough structure to feel dependable and enough flexibility to still feel like homeschooling.
Monday: connection first
While the weather is nice, Mondays often mean park days with room for kids to play and parents to connect. Games, clubs, and other community activities carry that same easy rhythm through the rest of the year.
Tuesday: shared learning
Children move through parent-led class blocks while adults teach, assist, support transitions, and keep the day running as a team.
A community built on care
Secular describes how NK Homeschool Community teaches and operates—not who is welcome. Our community includes families with no religion, LGBTQ+ families, and families deeply involved in their churches and faith communities.
We speak directly, listen carefully, and assume good intent while working through concerns.
Adults and children honor boundaries, different identities, different faiths, and one another’s dignity.
Families contribute time and follow through so the community does not rest on a small handful of people.
Mistakes happen. We focus on accountability, repair, and helping people return to the community well.
See what kids are learning
Class offerings change each term because they grow from family interests and the skills parents and Eagles bring to the community.
Physics / Engineering
Experiments, design challenges, and hands-on problem solving.
Life Science
Animals, plants, and the human body through active exploration.
Abstract artists & art creation
Art history, creative practice, and room to develop a personal voice.
Wild Explores
Wildlife, habitats, games, movement, and discussion.
What membership asks of families
NK Homeschool Community works because families know what they are joining before they commit. Full Tuesday membership includes four clear expectations.
Tuesday is not drop-off care. A parent or approved guardian remains on site and contributes.
Families commit to the full co-op day so classes, friendships, and volunteer coverage stay dependable.
Teaching, assisting, setup, cleanup, community jobs, and required fundraising participation are shared across the membership. Fundraising helps cover our weekly facility and keeps the family fee low.
Families support a secular, LGBTQ+ friendly community that welcomes all faiths or none and treats differences with respect.
Simple, transparent pricing
NK Homeschool Community is a nonprofit, parent-powered community. The annual family fee helps pay for the welcoming facility we use each week and the shared systems families rely on. Required fundraising participation helps offset those costs and keeps the family fee as low as possible.

A current, honest snapshot
These figures come directly from current NK Homeschool Community records, so families can see that this is a close-knit, active community. The family figure is deliberately rounded; we never publish household names, student counts, or membership changes.
Program counts update from the active term. The family figure is rounded and includes only approved primary member households—not linked accounts, Eagles, applicants, parked accounts, or individual students.

Questions families ask first
The practical details matter. These are the questions families most often want answered before they apply.
What does secular and all-inclusive mean?
Our classes and shared activities are secular; they are not based in a religion. Religious families are fully welcome. We welcome families of all faiths or none, including nonreligious and LGBTQ+ families and families deeply involved in a church or faith community. Families do not have to share a curriculum or worldview; they do have to treat one another with respect.
When does NK Homeschool Community meet?
NK Homeschool Community + Monday includes frequent park days while the weather is nice, with indoor or other community activities as conditions change. Tuesday co-op classes run during the active terms. The public calendar shares only deliberately public events, while members receive the complete calendar, exact dates, and family schedules inside the site.
What kinds of classes are offered?
Classes are hands-on and change each term. Recent slates include science, engineering, art, sewing, mythology, nature studies, music history, and classes proposed or taught by Eagles.
What is my role as a parent?
Full Tuesday members remain on site and help the day work. Depending on the term, that may mean teaching, assisting, supporting transitions, supervising shared spaces, setting up, cleaning up, and taking part in required fundraising that helps pay for our weekly facility and keeps the family fee low.
Do we need to attend the whole day?
Tuesday families commit to the full scheduled co-op day. Consistency makes class rosters, volunteer coverage, and friendships reliable. Families can mark an absence in the member site when they need to miss a day.
