The Homeschool Bunch is dedicated to transforming education for unconventional learners and their families in the Los Angeles area and beyond. Our mission is to empower children in STEAM education while providing innovative experiences for their non-traditional educational journey. We build supportive communities within a 20-mile radius of participants' homes, offering cooperative programs, low-cost services, and year-round childcare/enrichment activities. We prioritize empowering parents through free workshops and keynote speakers, fostering a vibrant homeschool community. Our commitment to personalized education, flexible scheduling, and diverse programs like ASL, coding, and gardening ensures each child's unique needs are met. We focus on character development, offering a nurturing environment that values relationships and a love for learning. The Homeschool Bunch fosters inclusivity, targeting diverse populations, and offers affordability through programs like the Parent Guide. We've achieved milestones: servicing over 80 families, partnering with charter schools, securing grants, and collaborating with Los Angeles Beaches and Harbors for enriching summer and year-round programs. Our success lies in our dedication to revolutionizing education, providing accessible resources, and building a supportive, inclusive community for all unconventional learners and their families.

Empowering our children to dream and succeed in all areas of STEAM and to provide parents with the resources and innovative experiences that will make their homeschool journey one to remember.
