We are an inclusive homeschool co-op where all members' beliefs, racial, and cultural backgrounds are respected. We value diverse perspectives and believe our differences enrich our world. 

SEE Co-op started meeting for classes in the summer of 2007.  The co-op was formed to provide a consistent time and place for homeschool families to learn and play together. The goals of SEE  were to establish a local group that would foster friendships and encourage an appreciation for the richness and diversity found in our global community.  Friendships are started in the classrooms, and given a chance to flourish through regular group outings.  

We offer academic and enrichment classes that have a classical/Charlotte Mason flavor.  The curriculum is hands-on and fun; while still being an outstanding educational experience.  An additional help for the busy homeschooling parent is the drop-off option, flexibility of part time or full time weekly enrollment (classes meet every Friday), as well as the ability to apply for staff membership which offers amazing benefits and discounts. 

A common vision is apparent in the classes' scope and sequences.   While each class explores a specific area of interest;  each also functions as a piece of the "big picture".   For example, similar topics may be covered in different grades so that siblings may cover the same topic at various depths.  Topics from classes in multiple grades and subjects tie into the planned monthly field trips.  A yearly progression through the grades will provide the student exposure to a range of topics that are wide (varied yet balanced), and multi layered in order to build on knowledge without repetition. 

Common themes at SEE are exposure to many cultures, arts, and forms of creativity.  We also strive towards raising awareness in all of our students of how we can be better stewards of our precious planet.   Involvement in our local and global community is encouraged through the classes and field trips.   The hope is that each student will feel "big enough" to make a difference.
