OUR HOMESCHOOL FELLOWSHIP
We are a group of families who homeschool. We have found it increasingly difficult to stay true to the call to homeschool while continually being pulled from one class to the next; one activity to the other; one sporting event to the next; or one playdate to the other. So many GOOD things to choose from, but at a cost; the cost of being together, as a family, learning and growing and communicating.
Vineyard Homeschool Fellowship offers fellowship opportunities which enrich your homeschool and demand only as much time and attention as you are willing to give. We have chosen to use the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education as the inspiration for our activities.
We think Charlotte Mason’s “extra-curricular” activities (not considered “extra” in the CM world…but rather essential enrichment & leisure) work well in a group setting and will enhance the learning you’re doing at home. We don’t require or expect those who join to adapt their homeschooling to this methodology, but believe that all will be benefited by the natural learning experience which is the nature of a CM education.
We embrace the “few but consistent” ideal for our fellowship. We strive to offer just enough so that moms are able to fellowship with each other and children are able to gather together regularly enough to form good and solid friendships, but not so much that you are pulled away from “home” schooling. Our monthly, quarterly, occasional, and annual fellowship opportunities are intentionally planned for meaningful fellowship. We are seeking after the joy that comes from Deuteronomy 11:19:”Teach them [God’s Words] to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
