Class Co-ops

LEARN hosts several educational cooperatives (“co-ops”) to provide families across the metro with expanded learning and social opportunities: SCENE, CIRCLE, and our new Forest School. Each co-op is a little different to accommodate the variety of locations and participation levels of our families. Follow the links below to learn more about each co-op.

SCENE Class Co-ops and Forest School: Tuesdays and/or Thursdays in the fall and spring, locations in KS and MO
CIRCLE Class Co-ops and Trips: families offer a class or trip in order to participate in each session’s offerings. Classes can take many forms, so read on for more details!

Little LEARNers – for our members age 6 and under and their caregivers. Read a book, do an activity, make new friends!

Double Digits – monthly gatherings of our members 10 and up: game nights, park play, special events

Graduation ceremony
- LEARN offers a memorable, personalized commencement ceremony to honor those transitioning into adulthood. Friends and family gather together to celebrate with those wishing to take part in what, for many, is a cultural rite of passage. A reception follows the commencement ceremony. Nonmembers are welcome to participate in the graduation ceremony for an additional fee
Annual Picnic & Reunion
- LEARN hosts a family picnic and reunion each summer. Our goal is to have fun while maintaining a connection with those families who have made LEARN a part of their lives regardless of whether or not they have continued to homeschool. Graduates and their families are welcome to attend free. Nonmembers are welcome to attend for an additional fee.
Let’s not forget inclusion in a large, diverse, community – plus many more events organized by families within the community!
