Yes.
Social Homeschooler runs like a club, and consistent participation is expected. This isn’t a casual drop-in group. Showing up regularly helps teens and tweens build meaningful connections, feel included, and create a strong group culture.

We understand life happens—just communicate if you’ll miss a session. But if a member frequently misses events without notice, their membership may not be renewed for the next term.

No.
Social Homeschooler is a secular group open to all homeschool families, regardless of religious background. We respect all beliefs, but no faith-based content, instruction, or messaging is included in our programming or meetups. Everyone is welcome here.

This is ideal for tweens and teens who:

• Want a real, in-person social life

• Are kind, open-minded, and respectful

• Enjoy activities that mix games, creativity, and conversation

• Can show up consistently and commit to being part of the group culture

Social Homeschooler is designed specifically for homeschoolers ages 11–17. If possible, based on the actual group makeup, we’ll do the activities breakout-style to help different age ranges connect comfortably within their peer group.

If we have an outdoor activity planned and the weather is unsafe or uncooperative, we’ll either reschedule or swap in an indoor backup if possible. Rescheduled club activities may be on a different day of the week or time.

Please note: Membership fees are non-refundable, even in the case of weather-related changes.

No. Parents are required to remain onsite during the entire meetup. This is not a drop-off club.

However, this is not meant for parents to participate in the activities themselves. Just be present and available so you remain responsible for your child nearby while your tweens and teens socialize. We actually hope that parents will socialize with one another…have our own mini hang out.

We meet weekly from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., in person, at various locations throughout Central Florida. Primary areas will be St. Cloud, Kissimmee, and downtown / metro-Orlando.

Some weeks may be held at familiar spots; others will rotate depending on the activity. You’ll receive full details via email and group chat ahead of time.

Once per month, we plan a larger group outing to places like escape rooms, bowling, mini golf, trampoline parks, arcades, skating, etc.

We aim to keep it affordable—ideally $30 or less per child—and parents will be notified in advance with details.

The cost for this is NOT included in the membership dues. While Social Homeschooler will attempt to reduce the cost of the bid outing utilizing a portion of the membership dues, it is not guaranteed.

The monthly membership includes:

• Weekly in-person meetups (varied activities and hangouts)

• All supplies and materials for activities

• Coordinated planning and facilitation by club leader

• Parent communication via email

• Private chat for reminders, location info, and updates

• Access to the club’s regular events, challenges, and connection-based fun

Please note: Monthly membership does not include the cost of the “Big Outing,” which is scheduled once a month and paid separately. When possible, Social Homeschooler will contribute to the cost of the big outing to reduce the overall out-of-pocket for parents but this is not guaranteed and, when this occurs, the amount contributed may vary. 

Social Homeschooler is an in-person, paid membership club for Central Florida homeschoolers ages 11–17 who want to build real friendships and enjoy meaningful face-to-face social time. It’s not school, it’s not a class—it’s social life on purpose, with a group that meets weekly for hangouts, creative activities, themed events, and just-for-fun experiences.
