Oregon Homeschool Science Club
Families come together from all over the Portland Metro area, from Ridgefield, The Dalles, Salem, Oregon City, Seaside, and Hillsboro. There is no single style of homeschooling that guides our families, only that quality instruction and high academic experiences are common goals.
Classes are 60-120 minutes long meeting Tuesdays from mid-September to the end of April, with a long Winter holiday break and a Spring break vacation. Students may take up to two courses.
Our program remains a co-op as we strive to keep the costs down for everyone. Each classroom has a dedicated parent volunteer for the entire year as well as a rotating second parent helper. This is not a “drop-off” program; families are required to stay on the OMSI campus.
You are free to enjoy a cup of coffee, find a quiet corner to read or write your grocery list or enjoy a conversation with other homeschooling parents.
Events are family activities. Parents and students travel together, explore together, and go home to continue learning.
Courses and trips do fill up early. New events are added throughout the year; watch for email announcements.
Please contact the coordinator to check on availability.
