Give Your Kids a Home Education They Will Benefit From for Life

Why Families Are Joining LAF and Jumping on the “Don’t Go It Alone!” Train

July 30, 2025

It is a new season for Home Education. Since COVID, families around the nation have flocked to homeschooling, but in the 2025/26 year, Learning and Families is focusing on returning to the heart of home education: fostering a love of learning, inspiring curiosity, and keeping families together as they learn.

This fall, homeschoolers are flocking toward Learning and Families for the NEW Project-Based Learning opportunities – innovative and unique experiences (like video game development, podcasting, and graphic novel illustration), plus good-old, solid skills that benefit kids long into adulthood (like cooking, gardening, and woodworking). Learning and Families Support Community and Co-op offers all your home education needs, along with many of your desires. 

Learning and Families Multicultural Day


LAF has designed its co-op days around three separate offerings: 

1. Tuesdays are geared toward Project-Based Learning to give students opportunities they would not be able to experience at home. 

2. Thursdays offer a Traditional Co-op setting, but again, focused on what students benefit from in a group setting, such as presentations, discussions, and in-class interaction. 

3. Friday is the Performing & Worship Arts Day, hosting a Theatre Program and Dance classes for dancers of all ages, plus group piano and innovative worship opportunities. All of this takes place within a safe and godly environment.
