We are so thankful to have the opportunity and privilege to gather Tuesdays and Thursdays at The Branch Church! Our community continues to grow with wonderful homeschool families, and we continue to offer fun and exciting learning experiences for our children while building friendships with other homeschool parents.
We will have use of two classrooms and a gymnasium. Classes will be split based on grade level, with 5th graders given the opportunity to choose which group they would like to attend.
Fall session will begin Tuesday, September 9th, and end Thursday, December 18th. We will take a break for the week of Thanksgiving, November 25th and 27th. Fall session is a total of 14 weeks.
Please remember that we need parent help and involvement to make this work. We are not set up to be a drop off program, so please plan on being there.
