I continue to be surprised by the talents of the teachers. Our son who expressed little interest in math is discovering new hidden talents in areas we did not know because his teachers take the time and use math games and creative math exploration to develop and uncover his natural talents.

OUR MISSION

Built for Families, Focused on Learning

Since 2004, AHB Community School has grown from a small homeschool co-op into a fully accredited micro school — without losing sight of what matters most. We continue to preserve time for family, limit our enrollment to just 105 students, and prioritize small classes, strong connections, and the flexibility that nurtures a lifelong love of learning.
