How We Connect

Relationships happen in the margins

Tuesday Mornings

While students are in class, parents gather in common areas for conversation, prayer, and mutual support.

🍽️

Lunch Together

Shared mealtime is sacred. Families eat together, creating space for kids and parents to build friendships naturally.

🎉

Outside Tuesdays

Field trips, park days, moms' nights, and family gatherings extend community beyond our weekly rhythm.

Parents Are the Heart

Anchor is a co-op, not a drop-off program. We believe parents bring essential wisdom, and their involvement shapes our culture.

  • Teaching - Share your expertise by leading a class or substitute teaching
  • Helping - Assist in classrooms, monitor common areas, or help with setup and cleanup
  • Supporting - Coordinate events, organize field trips, or serve on committees
  • Connecting - Simply being present, getting to know other families, and building relationships

Every family contributes in ways that fit their season and strengths. We work together to make Tuesdays run smoothly.

From Our Families

Real experiences from the Anchor community

We came for the classes, but we stayed for the community. My kids have found their people, and I have found mine. Tuesday mornings with other homeschool moms keep me going through the week.

Sarah M.
Mom of 3, homeschooling 5 years

As a new homeschooler, I was nervous about finding my place. The families here welcomed us immediately. My daughter went from dreading Tuesdays to asking when she can see her friends again.

Jennifer K.
Mom of 2, first-year homeschooler

The parent involvement was intimidating at first, but now I cannot imagine it any other way. I know my children's teachers. I know their friends' parents. We are truly in this together.

Rachel T.
Mom of 4, homeschooling 8 years

Anchor gives us the structure we need and the flexibility we want. My kids love their teachers, and I love having other adults who understand the homeschool journey to talk with.
