Our Weekly Structure
Scholé Homeschool Center of Harrisburg is an academic homeschool co-op founded on the Pillars of Classical Education: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric, designed to help our students pursue goodness, beauty, and truth through a biblical worldview. Scholé is a learning co-op guided by a leadership team and a commitment to Protestant Christian classical education. The community goal of Scholé is to foster a sense of wonder through learning that will cultivate wisdom, virtue, and intellectual maturity. Our Co-op meets weekly on Tuesdays and a half day on Thursdays.
