A real solution to educational chaos.
The Coolnerds are a collaborative of passionate parents, educators, and homeschooled students working in an intimate African and Christ-centered setting designed to help them identify individual abilities then manage them well.
We are intentional about meeting students where they are to develop them creatively and intellectually. We help youth graduate successfully and even early then send them into their futures with no debt.
The commitment of parents, volunteers, community leaders, and business owners, our Coolnerds promotes development of skills needed to create sustainable resources.
Our educators are committed to our emphasis on small class sizes, focusing on only 5-7 students at a time. Whether you need our agricultural programs, educational consulting, online tutoring, learning tours or support to guide you and your family through the homeschool journey, we are here to serve!
We cannot promise you that it will be easy, but it will be worth it! We will work alongside your family with a spirit of integrity! We are committed to providing and creating every resource possible to provide real solutions to educational chaos.
Consultations, classes, tours and more!
