Your new favorite homeschool hangout.
Maybe you’ve heard of co-working – renting a desk in a shared office to work in a community space. Co-Schooling is built on a similar idea, but designed specifically for homeschoolers and way more fun!
Our Learning Lab is our Co-Schooling haven for every type of homeschooler. Our subject rooms are filled with everything you need to homeschool your kids while finding community – or just a quiet place to work.

SHARED SUPPLIES
Why should we all buy the same globes and paintbrushes? Let's share resources and save money. Grab some math manipulatives, and bust out the paints and beakers - it's all for YOU!
We are also building a library of reusable curriculum textbooks. You are welcome to use these textbooks as your family's curriculum while you're at the center, or of course bring your own.
A SCHOOL FOR YOU TO USE
Everything in the Co-School is yours to use. Teach a lesson in a Subject Room using the whiteboard, or gather your kids around a table in our Family Schooling area. Got independent learners? Send them to the subject rooms or quiet room while you enjoy a break or get some of your own work done.
We support parent led instruction in every way. Need something specific? Let us know and we'll do our best to procure it for you.
DAILY ACTIVITIES
Just can't homeschool today? Come in and relax while your kids complete the weekly activities in each Subject Room. Multi-level activities are posted in each room and changed weekly. Students can complete the posted activities in Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Art. We provide homework helpers during POWER HOURS. Our fun focused staff also lead a daily kinder hour, Guided Art, & Guided Science.
Homeschooling for the day? DONE!
COMMUNITY FOCUS
Community is our greatest asset. We coordinate and facilitate kids clubs, teen hang-outs, gameschooling, Fun Fridays, group tutoring, team challenges, events, and more!
Find your tribe, or create your own and connect with other families. Got a great idea? We'll help you make it happen!
From holiday parties to career days, talent shows, and student poetry readings - there's always something happening at the Co-School!
5 Subject & Resource Rooms
Our subject & resource rooms are available for you to use however you'd like.
Take your lessons into each room to teach your subjects.
Or, have your kids create their own school schedule and "go to their classes" by doing their schoolwork in the different rooms (or just explore what's there!)
Feel free to grab a resource cart and collect the materials you need from each room and teach your own lessons around a Family Schooling table.
However you homeschool, we're here to support YOU.

In House Curriculum
**Currently Under Construction**
We are aligning our in house curriculum to match every discipline to California State Standards for each subject.
We use an eclectic approach to teaching these concepts to kids who visit our center.
This means that during each month, we will display manipulatives, posters, activities, and curriculum that matches the discipline of that subject room for the month. Instead of following a boxed curriculum, we gather these materials from various sources.
You are of course welcome to use any of the resources in the rooms for whatever you’re teaching your kids! This is simply a way to allow you to cover all standards without having to stress over lesson planning.
