Welcome!

Enrich is different from most homeschool classes, intentionally! We endeavor to provide a balanced, and beautifully enriching program to both student and parent who join our community.  We are founded on the philosophy of British educator Charlotte Mason, whose model reflects the idea that children are Individuals - persons who respond in unique ways to living ideas. 

At Enrich, we recognize that how we do things is just as important as what we do. It is our desire to provide an Atmosphere that is unhurried, organized, and peaceful where students can engage their hearts and minds in learning. Multi-age grouping encourages working together and excitement for the content is contagious.  

The natural world will be a large focus at Enrich. Our bi-monthly meetings will take place at several wonderful locations throughout the area, learning about the very unique and varied landscape and animals which inhabit our area. Most, if not all of our meetings will include some time outdoors in nature with special speakers, hands-on activities and lessons in Nature Journaling which incorporates writing, drawing, shading and painting using the dry-brush method. 

Another distinction at Enrich is time spent working together with Poetry, developing the ear towards beautiful Music and learning through Composer Studies. These are just some of the activities the children will cherish.
