Dandelion
Homeschool
Co-op
for curious kids and adventurous families!

Building meaningful community and connection amongst homeschooling and unschooling families in Philadelphia and beyond!

The Dandelion Project is inspired to connect and support homeschooling and unschooling families a variety of ways. The Dandelion Homeschool Co-Op will connect to enrich our homeschooling and unschooling experiences along with other families in the Philadelphia area. This co-op is for families with young people ages 5-14 who want to build stronger connections with other families to learn and grow together.

Registration begins June 2025. Membership runs until May 2026, with most offerings scheduled on Wednesdays.

What's included:

Field Trips!

Let's go places together! We'll plan and gather to go on inspiring monthly field trips to historical sites, museums, galleries, interactive exhibits, theater performances and cultural outings!

Family gatherings will include things like park picnics, board game meetups, potlucks and other open ended experiences that make space for connection!

Co-op Communication!

To help you stay on top of everything going on, we'll send you a monthly newsletter with the upcoming field trips, meetups, workshops and events. Members will also be invited to a private Slack space where members can communicate to coordinate upcoming trips and stay connected!

Members will also get priority scheduling and discounts on end of year homeschool evaluations with our dedicated and loving evaluation team!

Discounts to other Dandelion offerings!

$50 OFF Facility Rental for bday parties, workshops and other events

Every workshop will have a handout and recordings will be made available for the duration of membership.

Creative cooking, art, maker and STEM classes

Let's learn together! We'll engage with teachers and hobbyists within and outside of the co-op to craft exciting new learning experiences!

We'll schedule all the field trips from September-October, and families will sign up for days starting in November. Each family is responsible for planning at least 1 field trip.

Join ongoing clubs!

Let's explore our interests continuously and over time! We will poll the community to determine some shared interests to experience in club format! Think after school chess club or gardening club but without the school:)

We encourage and support families in building meaningful connections within and beyond what the membership has to offer!
