FAQs

  • No. This is a Homeschool Cooperative where families contribute and can become a part of their child’s educational journey. This is not a private school, Microschool, nor daycare. We are a group of parents, teachers, and professionals who have come together and have organized educational classes for homeschooling students. We run our Montessori homeschool cooperative from a residential home and meet in other locations, as well as partner with educational organizations for experiential learning outside the co-op.

  • We go through a very elaborate interviewing process. Families must be aligned with our beliefs, philosophy, and pedagogy. Families must have availability to volunteer their time as we are a cooperative & is a requirement. This is a private community of like-minded families and educators, who take safety and the protection of our space seriously.

  • You must fill out our application first. We will determine if your family is the right fit for our community.

  • At the moment, school-aged homeschoolers are 6 years up to 12 years old. Family participation required.

    Families/Caretakers joining us for our 5 and below group are required to be in attendance the same days as their child.

  • No, we do not.

  • Families can pick and choose the days they’d like to join our groups. Due to costs of having Montessori Guides and bringing Enrichment Programs, we do not prorate.

  • Parents must provide an Annual Evaluation for each student on or before each anniversary of the date of registration (the date Notice of Intent was emailed or mailed).

    The Annual Evaluation can be emailed as long as there are no signs of any tampering having been done. Email to:  Home.Education@BrowardSchools.com​​

    Parents must preserve each student’s Portfolio for two years and make it available for inspection by the Superintendent’s designee, with a written notice.

  • It is technically the parent's responsibility to do this. However, because we follow the Montessori academic system, we will certainly keep a portfolio of each child as they progress. Families may request their portfolio at any time.

  • We are in the process of becoming a provider for StepUp.
