MTAP is a social group formed with the desire to serve the social needs of home school teens on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We know there are many groups out there that offer field trips, mom’s night out, community outreach, and a variety of academic endeavors to help you in your homeschool journey. Because those areas are well served, we unashamedly exist for providing an environment for the teens to just have fun.
Other than Kickoff, Prom, and Graduation, all MTAP events are sponsored by parents. We charge dues to help cover costs associated with these events and anything else that may come up throughout the year.
MTAP is open to home school students ages 13 through high school graduation. Your student must be 13 before they join MTAP.
Dues are $13 per student per school year (August to July) and are not pro-rated for partial years. We encourage families to register early by offering an early bird discount for those who register and pay the membership fee before the kickoff event in August. New membership applications will be temporarily suspended in January and February while prom tickets are on sale.
Our primary means of communication is a closed Facebook group. You will be added to the group after you submit your registration form and your dues payment.
Our kickoff event held in August is open to all home school teens. This is a great time to come check out our group and meet some families. After kickoff, prospective members may attend one event as a guest before joining MTAP.
We totally understand that a lot of our families have siblings that may at one time or another need to attend events. We are leaving it up to the host as to whether or not the event is something siblings are welcome to attend but not participate in, they can attend AND participate, OR they don’t have enough room for extra attendants. It will vary from event to event.
Please note that many events will be drop off friendly.
A home school group geared toward bringing teens together.
