What are we about?
Welcome to Cottage School Life! We are Amelia, Annie, Christie, and Jenny, and we are excited to be here and share with you about home education and a cottage school format. Our cottage school is made up of four families with 16 kids between us all! We meet once a week for about 24 weeks of the school year to learn together.
One aspect that makes a cottage school different from other homeschool co-ops is its size. It’s purposefully small–cottage-like! It allows us to have encouragement and support from each other as we teach our kids, but we don’t spend too much of our energy on administrative details–we have to administer, but it’s just way less than what you might think!
We’d love to share our thoughts and ideas with you about what we’ve learned over the past couple of years of cottage school and help you see if something similar would be an option for your family.
Signing up for our emails is the best way to keep in touch, don’t you think? Click here to get the best of Cottage School Life, right when it’s available!
