The teachers are amazing!

All four of my daughters have attended Home Based Partnership, over the last 15 years.

The teachers are amazing, and they have created a very positive environment filled with kindness and acceptance of others. I could not be more happy or grateful for all of the wonderful experiences and positive influences that my daughters have had at HBP, and with the genuine care they have received by the teachers, other parents, and the students.

A refreshing combination of freedom, nurturing support, community, and continuity

The magic of the Home Based Partnership lies in the teachers and families that steer this program and in the refreshing combination of freedom, nurturing support, community, and continuity that HBP fosters. Kids, teachers, and parents alike look forward to their time each week on the inviting open grounds of the campus: the big green fields for group games and running, and the playground and equipment for outdoor activities, the tree-covered picnic areas, and the spacious and friendly classrooms, full of supplies for crafts, games, dress-up, sewing, weaving, reading, making art, building, and exploring at their own or assisted pace and through the weekly guided activities that take place on Open Days.

The best decision for your child’s education

HBP has been the best decision we’ve made for our son’s education. The flexible scheduling is much more conducive to our lifestyle, and the ability to integrate real life experiences with conventional curriculum is priceless.

A perfect mix of academics and creative skills, and the schedule offers a lot of time with other children

I think that many people don’t realize how much HBP has to offer. For our family it has been a perfect mix of academics and creative skills and the schedule offers a lot of time with other children. I love the continuity, seeing the same families every week and having the same teachers for many years. I love the interaction of little kids with the big kids and the skills they develop from each other. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this program.

My son hated school

My son hated school and every day he had problems with bullies. I thought homeschooling was impossible. Surprisingly, it was easy and brought our family closer together. We are so happy with HomeBased Partnership!

Teachers at Home Based Partnership are amazing! Some of them are longtime homeschoolers themselves.

I just want to add that the teachers at Home Based Partnership are amazing! They are all such loving people who are so supportive of homeschooling. Some of them are longtime homeschoolers themselves, and they are all selected by the parents to be the teachers there. I’ve learned so much from watching how they interact with kids during the day. And we have met or reconnected with so many great homeschooling families along the way. We have been a part of this community for over 13 years. 2 of my kids have graduated and 2 others are still enrolled. I even teach elective classes there. I hope their new program would help support homeschooling families who are looking for more flexible approach to Independent Study Program.
