Membership Dues and Responsibilities
Membership includes a combination of monthly dues and volunteer hours.
Because we are a homeschooling collective, parents remain on-site during our meeting hours to supervise, assist, and support the collective. Each family contributes a minimum of 80 hours throughout the year (approximately 2 hours per week). We can work with your schedule to support you in meeting the required hours.
Membership dues are $10,000* for founding families for the 2025/2026 academic year. Dues reflect our unique agriculture-integrated curriculum and 40-hour/week educational support with professional and credentialed educational guides.
* Additional activity fees may not be included
Our Approach to Community
We are a politically and religiously agnostic community. Our collective is open to families who commit to fostering an environment that encourages students how to think and not what to think. We seek to transcend the current cultural and political moment to model compromise, cooperation, and mutual respect.
We commit to giving adolescents the opportunity to develop without the negative influences of smart devices. We foster creativity, wonder, social and emotional literacy, and face-to-face relationships.
