Launch an AZ Learning Community!
As home educators we love our freedom and independence, but nothing replaces close friends and people with whom you can "do life" and share common experiences.
​
At AZ Learning Communities we believe in the power of local communities creating a hub for homeschoolers, parents, and families. What works in one city may not work in another, which is why we hire local site leaders and instructors to run each Learning Community.
​
Imagine creating a safe space where students can come to socialize and learn each week and then join local field trips and statewide field trips throughout the month. We consider it an "elevated co-op" as parents can drop off their kids to well-paid instructors who are providing high-quality enrichment classes and hold high character expectations for all students.
​
