Our Mission

The Homeschool Classroom, an education non-profit organization, provides an individualized curriculum for students, ages 5-14, based on their particular learning styles and needs.  By surrounding children in a nurturing environment that boosts communication and problem solving skills, students learn to be in control of their own learning.  In the thirteen years since its founding, The Homeschool Classroom has played a major role in the transformation of Santa Fe homeschooling. We use multiple combined curriculums to provide individualized education plans for each attending student.  The Homeschool Classroom prioritizes social emotional learning, which helps kids to have successful skill acquisition and stay positive about their learning experiences. 

 

 

Outdoor/Indoor Classroom

We are very excited to introduce the addition of an outdoor classroom to our learning space. A bright, heavy duty, outdoor tent will provide cool shade and ventilation for everyone. Individual, flat desks, a thick, comfortable, keep cool mat underneath our feet and half-way side rails make this space perfect for safe learning with a small group of children (5- 10) with 1-2 teachers present.

 
 

Covid-19 Safety

The Homeschool Classroom will follow the guidelines for teaching small groups of children as recommended by the Center for Disease Control. Masks and Social Distancing will be recommended and encouraged for now. Frequent hand-washing will happen. We will keep aware of the latest developments related to safety and prevention of the spread of Covid-19. These practices will be presented to the children with love and ease of mind, to help all students feel safe and comfortable, NOT enforced with punitive threat or fear.

The Homeschool Classroom embraces Multicultural and Humanistic Education practices and aims to maintain a diverse student community.  Whereas the families in New Mexico are comprised of a rich and varied cultural background, students benefit from embracing and valuing their diversity and unique lives. The Homeschool Classroom uses a set of strategies to teach about freedom, justice, opportunity and equality.   A true Multicultural classroom begins to address the balance of power and privilege within the education system itself.
