Frequently Asked Questions
Can my student attend without parent participation?
NSHC is not a drop-off program or a school, but a co-op run solely by volunteer moms and dads. We offer homeschool students, from preschool through high school, an assortment of academic and enrichment classes and social activities to supplement their homeschooling experience.
What is the minimum age for participation?
Families must have at least one child who is age 5 by September 1st of the year they apply. We do offer preschool and nursery care for younger siblings.
What are your safety guidelines?
We always have two adults assigned to every classroom and each nursery hour. Students are not permitted to traverse the facility without adult supervision. We maintain a closed facility and monitor the one unlocked access point.
