Beyond weekly classes, families enjoy 50+ events each year, including field trips, family events, teen activities, dances, educational workshops, and seasonal celebrations—making Learn Together Lowcountry more than a co-op; it’s a year-round homeschool community.

A co-op, or cooperative, is a group of parents and community members who come together to create group classes, events, programs, and a community for their children.

Choose classes based on the program(s) that best fit your family. LTL Plus meets on Thursdays and offers a bundled academic program that includes History, Science, English, and Math (Math is currently available for 8th–12th grades). Families enrolling in LTL Plus register for the complete academic package rather than selecting individual core subjects. On Fridays, families build their own schedule by choosing from a wide variety of enrichment classes, electives, private lessons, and tutoring options for students ages 4–19. Nursery is available for children birth through age 3.

Our drop-off program is available by approval for students ages 12 and older. Because Learn Together Lowcountry is a volunteer-supported community, this program is offered as a courtesy rather than a guaranteed option. Approval is based on our ability to safely support students and may be declined for reasons such as previous volunteer commitment concerns, limited campus staffing, a family’s inability to fulfill required volunteer hours, or the need to prioritize staffing to support students with additional needs.

Approved families pay an additional drop-off fee and are still required to complete parent volunteer hours each semester. These guidelines help us maintain a safe, well-supported environment for every student on campus.

Learn Together Lowcountry is a parent-supported homeschool community, and every family plays an important role in creating a safe, welcoming, and enriching experience for our students.

Unless approved for the drop-off program or granted a special exemption, one parent or guardian is required to remain on campus and serve in a volunteer role while their student(s) are on campus. Volunteer assignments are provided each week and are an essential part of keeping our classes, safety procedures, and campus operations running smoothly.

Parents are expected to:

• Read and follow the Family Handbook.

• Attend any required orientations or trainings.

• Arrive at least 10 minutes before their student’s first class to allow time for check-in, volunteer responsibilities, and an on-time start.

• Be present and engaged during their assigned volunteer duties.

• Review class schedules and locations with their students before the day begins.

Our drop-off program is designed for families who need a more independent option while still being part of our community. Approved students may be dropped off for their scheduled classes without a parent remaining on campus.

Participation in the drop-off program requires an additional fee. Students must be at least 12 years old or have an approved special waiver to participate. Parents are also required to volunteer a minimum of 8 hours, typically at events throughout the year.

Families in the drop-off program can expect:

• A structured and supervised environment throughout the day.

• Staff and volunteers available to assist with transitions between classes.

• Clear communication about schedules, expectations, and any updates.

• Students to follow all campus guidelines and be prepared for their day.

Students should arrive on time, know their class schedule, and be ready to participate independently. Parents are responsible for timely drop-off and pick-up and for ensuring their student understands expectations for behavior and transitions.

LTL is a Bible-based program with a mission to share the character of Jesus by showing love to one another and creating community. We believe in the inerrancy of the Bible. As Jesus did, we welcome all families from every walk of life and faith.

Learn Together Lowcountry makes every attempt to make our tuition inclusive. Most classes include all supplies, including the student curriculum your child will keep. Occasionally there is a class prerequisite book that will be purchased separately. Private lessons cannot include supplies as each individual student requires customized options. The parent cost of each class includes payment for the teacher, supplies for the semester, and administration costs. As a non-profit, we are subject to the oversight of two boards and all the reporting in conjunction. Feel free to ask any questions.

Due to the customized nature of private lessons, each student will need to obtain their own instrument and books. Contact your teacher to find out what is recommended for your skill level. If you aren’t sure who your teacher is, just email admin@learntogetherlowcountry.org to be connected.

We welcome visitors, but our safety protocol requires they be approved in advance. Contact our parent liaison at admin@learntogetherlowcountry.org and request that your guest be allowed to visit including the reason for the request. All visitors must sign a release of liability form and wear a name tag. Depending on the reason for the visit, guests may need to pay a portion of tuition or supplies.

Our sister non-profit, Learn Together Legacies, is a homeschool association. We are delighted to offer this wonderful compliance and support option that extends our commitment to nurturing families and building lasting educational legacies together.

Our parents are the BEST support. Contact us at admin@learntogetherlowcountry.org to be assigned a “homeschool buddy” or just ask questions.
