Our teaching style is process not product oriented. We do not test or grade. We encourage peer support and offer positive motivation. Our children love learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children will keep a master record of all their work that they get to take home at the end of the year. Instructors will email weekly class summaries that explain what your child learned &#8212; these summaries are great resources to document your homeschooling progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a title=\"Enrollment.html\" href=\"https:\/\/walnutgrovecoop.com\/WalnutGroveHomeSchool\/fees-to-register\/\">See the Fees to Register Page for pricing and current enrollment options. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have three multi-graded cohorts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"489\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/walnutgrovecoop.com\/WalnutGroveHomeSchool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Rabbit.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3028\" style=\"width:214px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/walnutgrovecoop.com\/WalnutGroveHomeSchool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Rabbit.jpg 489w, https:\/\/walnutgrovecoop.com\/WalnutGroveHomeSchool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Rabbit-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kindergarten, First and Second Grade are our <strong><em>Chrysalis Group<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Second, Third and Fourth Grade are our <strong><em>Tortoise Group<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Grade are our <strong><em>Pelican Group<\/em><\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each program year we feature a Fall and Spring Unit Study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Morning Block<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The Unit Study classes offered are Art, Science, Language Arts\/Literature, and Focus Studies, which is a Mindfulness combined with History and Social Studies.
