At Anchored In Faith, we empower homeschooling families through a faith-centered approach, offering a structured yet flexible environment where parents and children can collaborate and grow together. Our co-op provides a variety of educational activities, including group classes tailored to different age groups, enrichment programs, and community service projects. We emphasize a supportive and nurturing community rooted in faith, ensuring that families not only receive academic support but also build lasting relationships that strengthen their homeschooling journey.

Anchored in Faith utilizes both group classes and cohort-structured classes throughout the day. We start our day off with devotions, then have core curricula, followed by a lunch, and recess break. We then wrap up our day with electives, including either history or science.

AIF puts the safety of our students and families first. We have a security system installed and require annual background checks on anyone in contact with our students. We have fire, inclement weather, and lockdown procedures in place. We also ensure that if there are 10 students or more, we have at least 2 parent volunteers in the classroom setting at all times.
