Welcome to the Shanan Community

We are a community of Christian home school families who attend The People's Church and other churches of like faith in Williamson County and the surrounding area. We encourage you to explore our programs and contact us if you feel the Lord leading you to possibly join our community. Please note that there are two facets to our group, the support group and the children's cooperative program. A brief overview of each program is below.

Shanan Community Support Group

The Shanan Community Support Group offers field trips, group educational outings, family events, seasonal parties, park days, monthly moms' meetings and much more.

Membership is open to members or regular attenders of The People's Church and fellow home-schoolers who are in agreement with Shanan's statement of faith. Regular participation in community events is expected. Cost of membership is $15 per year.

Shanan Community Co-op

The Shanan Community Co-op Program accepts applications from home-schoolers who are in agreement with Shanan's statement of faith and who want to supplement their children's home education in grades K-6. (Classes for younger siblings are also available.) It meets at The People's Church on Thursdays (9:45 - 3:00) for 28 weeks from August through May.

The 2009-2010 school year will offer art, "Fun with Books", ancient history, earth science/astronomy, home economics, PE, performing arts/drama, and Junior Achievement.

As a true co-op program, parents are the teachers, and moms from each family must participate by teaching each week and remaining on campus during the co-op day. Tuition costs are $40 per year per child. Space is limited and People's Church members are given first priority. If accepted into SC Co-op your family automatically becomes a member of Shanan Community Support Group.
