Thank you for considering Living Love Collective as part of your family’s homeschool journey.
We are a Christ-centered community offering a peaceful, joyful, and academically rich learning environment inspired by the Charlotte Mason philosophy. While many of our families follow this approach at home, we welcome all families who desire a nurturing, faith-filled atmosphere and who value gentle, living education.
Enrollment is open based on available space within each age group. We review each application individually, not in a specific order, and we prayerfully consider how our classes might serve your child’s needs. When you reach out, we’ll share more details and place you on our interest list accordingly.
Please note: Our leadership and instructional team are homeschooling mothers who volunteer their time to serve in this ministry. We appreciate your patience as we thoughtfully review each application.
Before applying, we kindly ask that you read through this entire page and our About Us page to gain a comprehensive understanding of who we are, what we believe, and the process for becoming a member.
Ready to apply? Please read the class information below, fill out the contact form, and a member of our team will reach out to you with an application. Following the application, we will review our openings and schedule a phone call accordingly.
In Christ,
The Living Love Collective Leadership Team
ENRICHMENT DAY
A Community Supported Enrichment Ministry
Enrollment Status: Enrollment for Enrichment Day as a standalone program is currently full. However, families enrolling a middle or high school student (age 12+) in Academy Day will also be welcomed into Enrichment Day, with siblings included.
At this time, new families enrolling in our Academy Day instructional program are also required to participate in Enrichment Day. This ensures that Academy students experience the full Charlotte Mason feast and remain connected to the heart of our community. Families who join Academy Day receive access to Enrichment Day as part of their Academy tuition.
Our Enrichment Program has been the heartbeat of Living Love Collective for over six years. It is a ministry day that gathers families for prayer, an array of Charlotte Mason enrichment classes, and seasonal community activities and events.
Enrichment Day is supported through parent participation and shared group supply fees, some of which may be reimbursable through PEP, while others are covered directly by families. Certain supplies may also be purchased through the Scholarship Store. While there is no tuition, some activities and events may include activity fees. A portion of these will be available for reimbursement in the EMA Marketplace, while others may be family-funded. Please see the Tuition section for the full list of covered activity fees available to our Enrichment and Academy members.
ACADEMY DAY
Tuition-Based Core Program
Enrollment Status: Although we are no longer accepting new applications for Enrichment Day alone, families who register for our Academy Day will also receive access to and full participation in Enrichment Day, allowing them to enjoy the complete Charlotte Mason feast alongside our community. Participation in both days is required as part of the Academy admission. We are currently accepting new students with children aged 12 and up, along with their siblings, and maintain an interest list for future openings.
Our tuition-based Academy Day supports home-educating families with structured, Christ-centered instruction in the core academic subjects: Language Arts, Math, Science, History, and Geography. Lessons follow the Charlotte Mason Form system in small, mixed-age groups, using living books, narration, and hands-on exploration.
Academy Day grew out of our long-standing Enrichment Program, offering families a Christ-centered way to receive structured instruction while remaining rooted in the Charlotte Mason philosophy. Our mission is to assist parents in providing a strong foundation that prepares students for wherever God leads. Parent partnership is central; this is not a drop-off program, but a community where families share in classroom life, rhythms, and responsibilities.
Curriculum & Supplies
Academy tuition covers the Academy day as a whole, while additional curriculum and materials may be purchased through the EMA Marketplace or Scholarship Store. Some special projects and activities may carry small fees, which can be reimbursable through PEP.
