Most homeschool communities focus on socializing, which works great when kids are little. But as they grow, they crave meaningful conversations and challenges alongside their friends.

We also include the whole family, not just kids playing while parents remain acquaintances.

Through regular events like moms' nights, we foster deep, ongoing relationships that extend beyond just the children.

We are a community without walls. We operate out of the homes, yards, barns, and garages of our members, wherever families open their doors and hearts to host gatherings.

The community is based out of Steinbach, Manitoba, but our members live throughout Steinbach's surrounding areas, which means our events and activities happen all across the region.

We also embrace public spaces like parks, verandas, skating rinks, and other community venues. This gives us incredible flexibility to create diverse experiences while keeping costs low and connections strong.

I'm Tash, wife and mom of four, and founder of The Learning Collective.

12 years ago, I chose to homeschool to focus on communication and leadership skills that schools often miss, because let's be honest, life skills matter more than memorizing the periodic table. My two oldest are graduated and I have two teens I'm still schooling.

Over the past 10 years, I've had the privilege of running various communities, learning what makes groups thrive and how to bring out the best in people when they come together. Spoiler alert: it usually involves good snacks and genuine connection.

What really fills my cup? Meaningful conversations that dive below the surface, training jiu-jitsu alongside my kids, quadding beautiful trails, camping under the stars, hiking until we're properly exhausted, or curling up with a good non-fiction book that changes how I see the world.

After years of seeing how powerful community can be, I knew I had to create The Village, a place where families could come together with intention to support each other through this incredible homeschooling adventure.

Communities may look similar on the surface, but it's the foundation they're built on that makes all the difference.

We have fun activities and engaging events, but at our core, we exist to strengthen individuals, families, and students.

We weave personal growth lessons on character and leadership into our monthly events using curriculum from the Inner-Strength Training Academy.

Our community is built on Biblical principles that we hold dear.

We expect all families to respect this foundation, with the understanding that what truly unites us is our shared commitment to raising strong, capable kids and supporting each other.

Getting to know new people can feel daunting, but give it time, relationships don't develop overnight.

We are gathering for a reason, so trust the process and let genuine connections unfold naturally.

Everyone brings something valuable, your enthusiasm, willingness to help, or unique perspective matters.

For every event, someone leads but we always need extra hands and eyes to make things happen smoothly.

We also recognize different seasons of life, like when you have a newborn, and adjust expectations accordingly.

There's no minimum attendance required for community events. Attend what works for your family.

We do ask for about one volunteer hour per month, per child (so two kids = two hours).

The more families we have, the lighter this becomes for everyone.

We also understand that life has seasons (new babies, big moves, challenging times) just communicate with another member to help cover when needed.

No worries. We will connect with you afterward to see how your family wants to be involved and catch you up on the year's plans.
