📅 Fri · Aug 21

“What’s Your Why” Welcome Session

A relaxed hour to meet other Safari families, share what you’re hoping for this year, and hear how veteran homeschoolers set up their week. Camera-optional.

September Routines & Rhythm

📅 Fri · Sep 18

Real Talk: First-Month Wins & Wobbles

A parent support circle. What’s clicking, what isn’t, and swapping honest fixes. You leave with two or three things to try next week.

October Dig In & Seasonal
📅 Fri · Oct 2

Fall Unit-Study Co-Op Planning

Plan a light seasonal unit study together (leaves, harvest, elections) that layers on top of your core work. Leave with a ready-to-use plan and a shared resource list.

Best for: families who want enrichment without extra prep.

📅 Fri · Oct 16

Teaching the Tough Stuff: Math & Reading

Bring the topic your child is stuck on. We trade concrete strategies for the hard spots — regrouping, sight words, fractions — with teachers in the room.

Best for: parents mid-struggle on a specific skill.

November Records & Reset
📅 Fri · Nov 6

Record-Keeping & Portfolio Day

Get your attendance, samples, and ESA-ready records in order before the holidays. We’ll work through the planner’s record tools together so nothing piles up.

Best for: ESA families and anyone who dreads paperwork.

📅 Fri · Nov 20

Beat-the-Burnout Reset

The honest mid-fall slump session. Simplify what’s not working, drop the extras guilt-free, and reset your expectations for a calm holiday season.

Best for: every parent running low on gas.
Save my seat →
December Reflect & Recharge
📅 Fri · Dec 4

Holiday-Ready Homeschool Day

Turn December into low-stress, high-memory learning — holiday read-alouds, baking math, giving projects, and a “keep it light” plan so you can enjoy the season.

Best for: families who want to keep learning without the pressure.
Save my seat →
📅 Fri · Dec 18

Mid-Year Reflection & Goal Session

Close out the semester together. Celebrate the wins, name what you’d change, and set two simple goals for January so you start the new year with a plan.

Best for: everyone — a strong bookend to the first half.
Save my seat →

Seats are limited on the workshops, so register early. Can’t make one live? Sign up anyway — we’ll send the recording to everyone who registered.

Check back throughout the year for live classes, clubs, seasonal contests, and community events. The Homeschool Safari calendar keeps everything your family needs in one place — so you always know what’s coming next.

Good to know

Questions families ask

Everything you need to know about our live classes, clubs, and seasonal contests.

Classes are small live sessions led by a certified teacher on our own Homeschool Safari platform — no Zoom needed. They’re grouped by grade and most run about 25 minutes, so kids stay engaged without screen fatigue. You’ll get your schedule and class access after you enroll.
No problem — life happens. Every live class is recorded, so you can watch it back any time that works for your family. Classes also run on a weekly rhythm, so you can simply jump into the next one.
Every Homeschool Safari family is welcome to enter our seasonal contests — writing, STEM, art and more. Each one has simple guidelines on its page, and winners earn prizes. New challenges open throughout the year.
Live classes are included with membership, so once you’re enrolled you can join any class on the schedule. Contests just need your entry submitted before the deadline listed on each contest page.
Our classes and clubs are built for PreK through 6th grade, grouped by age so every child is with peers at a similar level. Contests are open to all ages and judged fairly by family or grade.
