Helping You Get to Known Accidental Homeschooler
What Kind of Homeschool is Accidental Homeschooler?
Accidental Homeschooler is an eclectic homeschool and co-op that uses a Charlotte Mason-inspired curriculum. We focus on living books, habit training, nature study, the arts, and, short, focused lessons—while blending in modern tools and enrichment opportunities.
Is Accidental Homeschooler a full-time school?
No. Accidental Homeschooler is a parent-led homeschool program. Families are fully in charge of their child’s education. We provide curriculum guidance, structure, community support, and optional co-op classes, but you remain the primary teacher.
What is a co-op and how does it work?
Our co-op is a community of homeschooling families that meets once a week for enrichment activities, hands on projects, nature walks, group discussions, and the arts. Parents contribute by helping lead activities, supervising, or organizing.
Do you support digital tools like Google Classrooms?
Yes! Accidental Homeschooler is fully compatible with Google Workspace for Education and Google Classroom. Families use these tools to organize assignments, communicate with co-op leaders, and collaborate when needed—especially helpful for hybrid or remote learning.
What is your weekly schedule?
• Home-based learning: Monday through Thursday (family-led)
• Co-op day: Friday( group classes and enrichment, optional but encouraged)We follow a traditional academic calendar (September-June) with breaks and holidays aligned with local norms.
What ages or grades do you serve?
We welcome grades Kindergarten through 8th grade. High school offerings may be available in the future as our community grows.
Do I have to use your entire curriculum?
Not at all. We believe in educational freedom. Many families use our full scope and sequence, while others integrate it with their preferred resources. Our team is happy to offer guidance on what works best for your child.
