Support Groups, Co-ops, Classes, Tutors
Find social groups, supplemental classes, co-ops, and tutors to help you on your homeschool journey.
NNHS does not support or endorse any group, class, or tutor, but rather provides a list of available resources that may help you as an additional resource.
If you don't see a group in your area, consider starting one! It can be simple, like meeting at a park every week (we recommend starting off by meeting at the same time, place, and day each week to get the group going); or it can be more complex, like a co-op offering classes. Please email your group information or class/tutoring info to chair@nnhs.org

Co-ops & Programs
Co-ops are groups of parents who come together to organize classes with shared responsibilities. They range from just a few families in someone's home to hundreds of families in a large church space. Fees vary but are usually minimal to cover costs for materials and space.
Programs are more formal educational and enrichment opportunities.
Arrows in the Wild is a faith-based, drop off, outdoor homeschool enrichment program where kids are given the freedom to explore, play, create, and grow. Through child-led experiences in nature, we intentionally weave biblical truth into opportunities for wonder, connection, and discovery. Our Wild arrows program takes place through out the year at different parks. Programs are 3.5 hours long for children ages 4-13. There is also a little arrows program for kids ages 18 months to 4 years old. This is a parent attending class and is 2 hours long. During both Wild Arrows and Arrows in the Wild kids are given the time and space to move their bodies, follow their curiosity, take healthy risks, solve problems, and build meaningful friendships. Along the way, they’re developing confidence, perseverance, empathy, creativity, and independence all without rushing childhood.
At Arrows in the Wild, we believe kids learn deeply when they’re given the freedom to be kids: getting messy, asking questions, trying new things, and experiencing the wonder of God’s creation. Contact: Arrowsinthewild@gmail.com
Calvary Christian Homeschool Co-op is a Christian co-op that meets twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays from 10am-12pm and offer an optional lunch to follow. We focus on electives that tie into the doctrine of the Bible. We also schedule field trips and hike days each month and incorporate fun events such as career days and entrepreneur markets. Class time is split up by age groups and we charge per semester. Our co-op is full of fellowship opportunities for both the kids and parents. Parent participation/volunteering is mandatory as we are not a drop-off program.

WILD (Wonder Imagine Learn Discover) Enrichment Program - At Wild, our focus is creating a learning environment where curiosity leads the way and kids feel excited to explore the world around them. We blend creativity, nature connection, hands-on STEAM experiences, storytelling, and meaningful cultural learning so students aren’t just absorbing information—they’re experiencing it.
We value mixed ages learning together, building confidence, friendships, and leadership naturally. We also care deeply about giving kids space to make, move, wonder, and think in their own way, while still engaging with rich ideas from history, geography, science, and the arts.
Most of all, we want students to feel capable, inspired, and connected—to themselves, each other, and the wider world. Wild is a place where learning feels joyful, creative, and alive.

I am an experienced educator with a heart to see all kids learn math. I am always seeking creative ways to introduce complex concepts ensuring that students with differing abilities can access math and feel successful. I love teaching math to students who struggle, and I have a desire to find unique strategies to ensure that all students can learn math and even have fun in the process! I have experience teaching math in a variety of settings. For over 20 years, I have taught in both public and private schools. I also homeschooled my children from kindergarten through high school in all subjects. One of my areas of expertise is finding the gaps or holes in a student's understanding and introducing a variety of methods to help the abstract concept become more concrete. I offer private tutoring as well as teach full middle and high school math courses in person and online. Classes usually start in the fall but depending on availability I am willing to start a class mid year.
