About Us
Established in 2003, Little Way Homeschool Co-op offers arts and enrichment classes and special events to homeschool students from pre-K through high school. We meet for classes on Fridays from mid-September to mid-May, with field trips or other special events on first Fridays.
Members commute from across Northern and Central New Jersey, and our community is blessed with parents and teachers who generously share a remarkable range of talents, experience, and professional expertise.
As a cooperative, Little Way depends upon the active participation of our member families. Parents share their time and talents throughout the co-op day, helping to create a community in which our children can learn, grow in faith, and form lasting friendships.
Our Mission
“Little Way Homeschool Cooperative seeks to support homeschooling families in the formation of their children in the Holy Catholic Faith by providing arts and enrichment classes and experiences in a nurturing community striving to know, love and serve God.”
Our Meetings
Our day runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with Holy Mass together at midday. Each age group follows its own schedule of arts and enrichment classes, which may include art, choir, dance, drama, forensics, science, faith, philosophy, nature study, and gym. Please see our schedule and class descriptions for further information.
We also gather for several special events throughout the year, including an All Saints’ Day party, Christmas and spring concerts, dance and drama performances, a May Crowning, Vocations Day, and a family dance. Please see our calendar for details.
Moreover, we encourage members to coordinate field trips, plan service opportunities, and organize additional or impromptu events throughout the year.
A Community of Friends
Inspired by the “Little Way” of St. Therese of Lisieux, we are a community of friends sharing our time and talents as we endeavor to “miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice… always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.”
Little Way is more than our Friday classes. Through shared work, worship, celebrations, field trips, performances, and the ordinary moments of co-op life, we hope to foster lasting friendships among children and parents alike. Many of our families remain part of the community for years as their children grow from the youngest groups through high school.
We look forward to supporting your family in your homeschooling journey!
