Welcome to the HRC!
A commitment to education and children for parents’ homeschool enrichment
HRC is a pioneering not-for-profit organization merging creative learning experiences with education and functionality to offer parental resources and support within the faith-filled, homeschooling community for childhood excellence.
A passion for the learning experience
Our diverse range of instructors gear children & youth for success in learning, while creating space for parents to gather resources too. HRC is a changeable smorgasbord of educational variety. See below for examples of some of our classes. Please see the schedule page for the current offerings.
Poetry
Writing and reading poetry, studying great poets, and learning
about the technical aspect of poetry will all be covered in this class. All
are welcome, but it would probably be more valuable for junior and
senior high students, and possibly upper elementary students with a
desire to connect or express themselves through poetry.
Math Tutoring
Math Tutoring class open to all ages, offering one-on-one assistance with math concepts. There will be adult or high school assistants in addition to the teacher. Please bring curriculum that student is using with the areas of help needed noted. Sign up for 30-minute sessions: 9-9:30, 9:30-10, 10-10:30, 10:30-11, 11-11:30, or 11:30 to 12 noon
Speech & Debate
This class is open to all ages and will give plenty of opportunities to speak in front of the class in addition to learning about organizing speech/thought/writing, some rhetorical devices, types and
situations for public speaking, some memory tips, drills, impromptu work, and how to conclude a speech with strength and purpose.
Art History
This non-studio course is
open to students in fifth grade and older and will teach students to look
at art through the lens of the elements and principles of art. Then it will familiarize them with great works of art of the West and explore the religious, political, and civic philosophies and the technological
advancements that produced them. Students should expect to spend 20-30 minutes per week on homework.
Conversational Spanish
Learn vocabulary, the basics of sentence structure, grammar, and conversation in this class intended for non-native speakers of Spanish. This class is open to all ages, including parents and grandparents!
Literature
Good books build character, so come join in listening to The Borrowers by Mary Norton, enjoying discussions at the end of each chapter and honing skills of prediction, summarizing, and drawing up character sketches.

All children can succeed.
