Join Schoolhouse - The Schoolhouse Network

Come and Homeschool at Your Local Church Schoolhouse

The Old Schoolhouse® (established in 2001) serves homeschooling families worldwide through SchoolhouseTeachers.com and The Schoolhouse Network—Church Schoolhouses in the USA, South Africa, and Chile, with more being established regularly, including plans in Myanmar and India. A Church Schoolhouse is a local homeschool co-op where like-minded families meet in a safe setting with a Christian, biblical worldview for shared learning, friendships, and support. Several Schoolhouses also plan field trips, workshops, and hands-on labs.

What Is the Cost?

Church Schoolhouses operate as a ministry of the local church, under the oversight of the pastor and church leaders. There are no enrollment fees; families participate by showing proof of a current SchoolhouseTeachers.com family membership, priced to be affordable—especially for larger families. A current membership lets families attend any Schoolhouse with no limits—some attend two or three days per week across multiple locations.

Some Schoolhouses may offer occasional membership discounts, depending on availability—check with a Director for a coupon code. Once your membership is active (discount or not), it works for every Schoolhouse location. Either way, the price for an entire year (365 days) is under $400 per family.

What Do Families Receive?

One family membership gives you unlimited access to 400+ PK–12 courses—complete enough to carry your student all the way to graduation. And here’s the best part: it works seamlessly whether you homeschool independently at home or participate in a Church Schoolhouse. You can use the same courses for your regular homeschool days at home, and those very same courses can be taught and reinforced during Schoolhouse days—so your week stays consistent instead of feeling split in two.

Most homeschool co-ops require parents to buy a fresh stack of textbooks and workbooks for each class, since each teacher assigns different materials. With SchoolhouseTeachers.com and The Schoolhouse Network, that headache goes away. The coursework is already included in the membership, so parents aren’t constantly hunting down textbooks, and students aren’t juggling mismatched programs—making co-op learning simpler, more unified, and far more affordable.

Why Do Christian Kids Need Christian Education?

Education shapes how our kids think about God, the world, and their place in it. Here’s what a Christian education does:

Biblical worldview woven into every subject
Upholds God’s Word as authoritative
Builds character and Christ-centered living
Teaches kids to recognize and avoid anti-God philosophies
Academic rigor grounded in faith
Church and family working together in discipleship

What Is a Schoolhouse?

A Schoolhouse is a specific model—not just any homeschool co-op, but one built on a solid foundation:

PK–12 homeschool co-op meeting inside a local evangelical church
Uses SchoolhouseTeachers.com—an online platform with 400+ ready-to-teach courses (no prep needed)
One-room Schoolhouse learning model with mixed grade levels
Parents teach from existing courses; families stay on-campus together
No enrollment or per-child fees; only requires SchoolhouseTeachers.com membership
Shared workload among families

Why Join a Schoolhouse?

Families are leaving public schools in search of a safe place to land—a community that shares their values and supports their homeschool journey. A Schoolhouse delivers:

Community of like-minded Christian families
Accountability and positive peer pressure
Socialization across all grade levels
Parents teach what they love; shared teaching load
High-quality, paced curriculum with academic rigor
Complete record-keeping, report cards, and transcript tools
High school credits available
Extracurriculars: field trips, banquets, science fairs, drama, yearbook, sports days, mentoring groups, and more
