...so we built it ourselves. The Village didn’t just happen—it was built by a group of women who saw a need, believed in something better, and stepped in to make it happen.
We’re moms, leaders, planners, problem-solvers, and (most importantly) people who care deeply about the families in this community.
Each member of our board brings something different to the table, but we all share the same goal: creating an Upstate South Carolina homeschool co-op where families feel supported, students feel known, and community comes naturally.
The Moms Behind The Village
The Moms Behind The Village
While we each have titles and responsibilities, what really matters is how we work together—and how we show up for you. Behind the scenes, we are:
Planning classes and coordinating schedules
Organizing events and field trips
Supporting families and answering questions
Solving problems (sometimes on the fly)
Constantly working to make The Village better
And yes… occasionally managing chaos with coffee, group texts, and a lot of determination.
Built by Moms who Get it

Every decision we make comes from experience. We understand the challenges that come with homeschooling, and the reasons we chose to do it anyway.
Our team is also tapped in to the local homeschool community of Anderson SC and surrounding areas, so we're always finding new opportunities for our students to learn and grow.
If you've been burned by another local South Carolina homeschool co-op, unfortunately, we get that too. That's why we're here.
A Community You Can Trust
A Community You Can Trust
We know that choosing a homeschool co-op is a big decision. That’s why we’re committed to creating an environment that is:
Safe
Welcoming
Organized (mostly 😉)
Focused on what truly matters
At The Village, your family isn’t just another number—you’re part of something we’ve built with intention.
