WHY DO WE HOMESCHOOL?
Various families from our co-op share the reasons why they have chosen to homeschool, some of which are flexibility in schedules, bringing families closer together, developing a love for learning, learning to think for themselves, and incorporating our beautiful Catholic faith into all that we do.
