Experience that understands you

🎓

40+ Years Combined Experience

Our leadership team has walked the homeschool journey. We have taught at the kitchen table. We have navigated curriculum choices. We get it.

👩‍🏫

Teachers Who Are Friends

Handpicked for expertise, yes. But also for heart. These are people who will remember your child's name, ask about your week, and genuinely want to see your family thrive.

Curriculum Conversations Welcome

Stuck on math? Wondering about science? We love talking shop. Consider us your homeschool sounding board, not just a Tuesday drop-off.

What Makes Us Different

Traditional School

Full-time, five days a week. Little flexibility for family rhythms.

Solo Homeschooling

Complete flexibility but can feel isolating. No outside teachers.

Common Questions

Anchor serves students from K4 through 12th grade. Class offerings vary by semester based on student interest and teacher availability.

Classes are individually priced, and there is a small registration fee per semester. Pricing details are shared after you submit the interest form.

We understand homeschooling families need flexibility. Missing a week is okay. We also schedule a makeup day each semester in case of cancellations.

No. You do not have to be Christian to join Anchor. We are a Christian homeschool co-op, and our faith shapes our leadership and culture. We simply ask that families understand and respect that foundation.
