Finger Lakes HomeschoolIthaca
Fingerlakes Homeschool is comprised of a growing number of families who choose to educate their children at home in the Finger lakes Region. We are brand new and we are still developing our support system. We are currently focused on developing a co-op in hopes of offering classes to preschool-12th grade. What is co-op? Co-op provides supplementary education for our children that we cannot easily provide ourselves, allows kids to learn accountability and study skills in a fun group environment, and opportunity to develop friendships. This environment is a mixture of core classes (e.g., chemistry, biology), enrichment classes (e.g., French & art) and fellowship for the children and parents. All families are welcome to join our group and our co-op, however, you must recognize that we are at our core a Christian organization. We ask all families who join to sign that they will honor and respect our Statement of Faith. Curriculum in our co-op may or may not be religious, and we ask teachers to refrain from teaching against anything found in our Statement of Faith. Other specifics, such as the inclusion of creation-based ideologies in a science class or Christian leanings in a history class for example, may be dependent on individual teachers and parents should ask teachers before registering children for those classes if that is a concern.

Summer Youth Enrichment Writing Programs | Hudson Valley Writing ProjectMid-Hudson Valley
Led by the region's finest teachers, the Hudson Valley Writing Project offers children and teens unique learning experiences at local cultural and historic sites, nature preserves, and college campuses. Teachers incorporate community-building activities from the start in order to build a safe and fun learning environment so that everyone is comfortable writing and sharing their work. In the first several days of the workshop, not only do writers start many pieces, they look closely at models of similar writing as a way to learn about how published writers "craft" their writing. As the week progresses, the writers continue to experiment with writing, while the teachers incorporate goal setting, conferences, and revision into the daily activities. By week's end, writers get support in editing, publishing, and celebrating their work. In most programs, students will not only work with HVWP teachers, but also with educators at the host site who take the group on behind-the-scenes tours to touch artifacts, to explore secret places, and to develop a personal appreciation for where they are. Programs available in Ulster, Dutchess, and Westchester; in Orange County, we have programs at Storm King Art Center and Museum Vilage.
