Program Overview
Here at the Homeschool Hub, we partner with you to support your child’s homeschool education. We provide engaging courses that enrich your homeschool student’s development through opportunities to learn and grow in collaborative, hands-on classes. Our classes are capped at 15 students, with the exception of our Explorers classes which have a maximum of 10 students.
Official registration as a homeschooling student with the North Carolina Department of Education is required to participate in this program for all students 7 years old or older. We are unable to provide classes for students enrolled in public or private schools.
Our program aims to be an inclusive environment where all students can feel welcome and thrive. We train all of our teachers to meet the needs of all types of learners, and we value parent partnerships to help meet the unique needs of each student.
Additionally, while the Y is a Christian organization, we utilize secular curriculum in our classes and serve families from a variety of faith traditions and cultural backgrounds.
