We are a Christian-centered group. We
do not require church membership but ask
that each member conduct their behavior in
a moral, Christ-like way. We strive to be
Godly examples to our children in our words
and actions.
29 Palms Home Educators
Thank you for your interest in 29 Palms
Home Educators. This brochure is
intended to help you understand who we
are and what we do to support you in
your own home school.
We are a homeschool co-operative (coop). We, as homeschooling parents, agree
to work together to provide educational
enrichment activities and opportunities for
our homeschooled children, ranging from
pre-K through high school. We are not a
private school or charter school with tutors.
All of our classes and events are led by
parent volunteers.
Membership in the co-op requires that
each semester every family lead a class or
an event, or coordinate a field trip or
other co-op related activity. The goal of
the co-op is to enrich your current
homeschool program.
Our Yahoo Group: All class schedules,
upcoming events, and other informational
articles are posted on the 29 Palms Home
Educators Yahoo group site. Upon
completion of the New Member
Questionnaire, Medical Treatment Form,
and Parental Consent Form (we require that
you attend a Co-op event to receive this
document), you will be invited to join the
Yahoo group online. All members may post
events, ideas, and general information on
this site. For safety and security reasons,
the Yahoo Group is exclusive to
current/active 29 Palms Home Educators
Co-op Members. Our Facebook page is
open to all homeschool families regardless
of Co-op Membership. Search 29 Palms
Home Educators on Facebook to find the
page. Visit it for homeschool articles,
ideas, and area events.
Our classes: Group classes are held at the
Palms Baptist Church (5285 Adobe Rd, 29
Palms) on most Fridays, with the exception
of field trip days and holidays. Classes are
scheduled for each age-group from Pre-K
through high school. A Tiny Tots class is
provided by co-op members for
babies/children too young to attend classes.
Typically Friday mornings start with Co-op
Choir at 8:45. A morning assembly for all
members is held in the fellowship hall at
10a.m. Classes are held from 10:30 to noon.
different curriculum options, etc. Each
semester we schedule a planning meeting to
discuss ideas and events for the children.
Having the support of other homeschooling
parents is invaluable in creating the best
experience for you and your children.

in general or how to start, please visit

Field Trips and other Activities: We try to
provide at least one field trip opportunity
each month. Our field trips are open to all
actively involved families. Field trips may
include performing arts productions such as
the McCallum Theatre Field Trip Series and
Performance Riverside Discovery Theatre,
among the many opportunities in the
surrounding area. We also offer other
classes outside of regular Friday classes.
These classes have included art, sewing,
cooking, etc. Exact offerings are dependent
on parent volunteers. All activities are
accessed through the Yahoo Database.
Parent Events: In addition to all the
wonderful events provided for the children,
we also provide events for the parents. Each
month we offer a Mom's Night Out led by a
member of the group.
We also schedule Homeschool 101 classes
and offer mentoring for new homeschool
parents. These are opportunities for new
homeschool families to talk with those of us
who have more experience and learn about
If you are already homeschooling your
children, or decide to in the future, we invite
you to consider becoming part of our co-op.
We are learning and growing together!
