Welcome to Firmly Planted Family’s full-time Homeschool Resource Center.

Quick References

At FPHRC we are dedicated to equipping and encouraging homeschooling families.

Here’s how we do it…

For Students

Classes

Classes are available for all ages at the Homeschool Resource Center! From ballet to algebra, we have something for everyone. Organic in nature, each session may offer different classes. Teachers at FPHRC are not hired staff, but rather "freelance" teachers. This is why you will find that the class list changes a bit each session, and the prices vary between classes.

Tutoring & Mentoring

The Tutoring Program is ideal for students in need of extra help in virtually any subject. The compassionate and competent tutors in this department are here to help your student gain the tools and self-confidence they need to work through the subjects they’re struggling in.

Hands-on Learning

Classes like theater, dance, pottery, woodworking, music and art are all incredible examples of what hands-on learning looks like at the Resource Center. Students are given the opportunity to learn by “doing” which plays an integral role in growth and development. These classes and departments are near and dear to the Resource Center as they are the heartbeat of why we do what we do!

The Firmly Planted Homeschool Resource Center exists to equip and connect homeschooling families, providing them with the tools and support they need to thrive in their homeschooling journey. We desire to see every homeschool parent flourishing and confident, every student growing, and challenged.

For Parents

  • Community + Fellowship

    Community + Fellowship

    As a faith-based organization, we deeply value the relationships that are nurtured and fostered in this incredible homeschool community–it’s why we’re here! In this homeschooling journey, the good news is you’re not alone. <3

  • Workshops + Counseling

    The heart of the Homeschool Resource Center is to encourage and support parents through their homeschooling journey. To this end, we try to offer a variety of parent education workshops each semester on subjects such as Homeschooling Thru High-School, Homeschooling Special Needs and Homeschooling How-to. Check our calendar for upcoming events.

  • Books + Coffee

    Books + Coffee

    The Raft Coffee Nook is a place of hospitality for our Center families. Our heart is to serve everyone in a safe place full of love, compassion, and service. As if that wasn’t enough, Headwaters is a new and used consignment bookstore located on the south side of the Firmly Planted Homeschool Resource Center! Headwaters carries everything from fiction novels to curriculum!

Early Education

Seedlings Co-op

The Seedlings Co-op is for families with children 0-9 years old, with a primary focus on pre-school and kindergarten. As a cooperative, parents are expected to be involved during co-op day; all classes are parent taught and the program is parent led! Each participating parent either teaches or helps in a class. There are also opportunities to help plan field trips, coordinate special events, and more!

Class Categories

  • These are our top tier classes. CORE classes will have higher expectations of students, parents and teachers, and are meant to be our most academic courses. CORE classes are typically year-long. Expect a detailed syllabus, homework, and grading. If your child is taking a CORE class you won’t need to cover that subject area at home. If you’re looking for high school math, science or writing, for example, look to our CORE classes!

  • SPECIALTY classes will primarily consist of things like theater, dance and art. Many of these classes are near and dear to the Resource Center because they are an integral part of our building - our bee hive, recording studio, theater club, dance studio, etc. Any other academic subjects that will not be holding to the stricter guidelines of CORE classes could also fall into this category.

  • These are your fun, more laid back classes! Almost every pre-K level class will be an ELECTIVE, as well as classes that are not necessarily academically focused; i.e. juggling, cooking, sewing. Most student-taught classes also are considered ELECTIVES.

Homeschooling doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We are here to help and encourage you!
