faqs

are you a drop off program?

No. We are not a drop-off program. We believe in providing a quality education that includes the whole family for an affordable price, as we understand most homeschool families operate off one income. To do so, we must all cooperate in teaching and facilitating for our co-op days to be successful and for our students to thrive. One parent or guardian must remain on site and willing to participate at all times.

When and where do you meet?

We meet once a week on Tuesdays from 10 AM to 4 PM. Three meetings each month are held at a local church, unless we have a field trip, and one is at The Discovery Center. Our spring and fall semesters each run for 12 weeks—spring from February to April, and fall from September to November. During the summer, we meet every other week in June and July. In December and January, we take a break to enjoy the holidays and time at home with family. We embrace a 'holy hygge' rhythm of peace and restful learning during these months so that we are well prepared for the year ahead.

how many students attend The Olive Branch?

Our goal is to stay closely connected—not only as students, but as moms as well—so we can give the time and attention needed to nurture strong biblical character in our children. We currently enroll around 30 students each semester. Because we value a good fit for each family, we maintain a waitlist and review applications based on individual needs.

What Curriculum do you use?

The Olive Branch is a proudly certified Scholé community as we have adopted a classical education approach to our homeschool co-op. Most of our content is sourced from the Bible, classical education curriculums and classical literature that we agree upon.
