Gateway Homeschool Network is seeking families for the 2009-2010 school year. We offer a co-op style learning center where parents share in the learning process. Your children/youth get a chance to learn in a group setting one day a week, with opportunities to meet and socialize. They also receive the benefit of the wealth of knowledge coming from shared teaching responsibilities as well as accountability. The co-op also provides the forum for Homeschool families get to know one another and offer support to each other. The costs for the program are kept as low as possible with consideration for families with multiple children.

The following high school classes are scheduled for the first semester of the 2009-2010 school year:

Anatomy
Integrated Chem/Physics
English Composition/Literature (Excellence In Writing)
Spanish 1 or Spanish 2
Geometry
Health
Government/Economics
Art
Drama

Registration begins May 1. Final determination on class offerings based on enrollment will be determined by June 1.

Each of these classes will need a teaching assistant or rotational teachers. We are also seeking parents willing to teach 6 week sessions for the enrichment program. Please let us know if you are interested.
