The Fall 2024 Schedule will be posted very soon!  Be on the look out!

Please note that all sessions take place on Mondays in one convenient Maryville location. 

The BHEA Enrichment Program is open to all BHEA members in good standing. 

Our Enrichment program will consist of 12 meetings. 

We're thrilled to invite you to join our Enrichment Program! To participate, there is a Registration Fee of $50 per family per year, whether you enroll for one semester or two. Additionally, each instructor sets their own fees, which you can find by clicking on the session names for full descriptions.

Please note that only member families are eligible to participate in the Enrichment Program. Our annual membership fee is $30 per family, covering the period from June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025. Since this fee is already quite low, it remains the same regardless of when you join during the academic year, and we do not offer prorating or refunds.

We look forward to welcoming you and enriching your homeschooling experience!

Can I drop my kids off on their Enrichment Days?

We understand that this question comes up often. However, our policy is that parents must stay with their children during Enrichment Days, unless your child is over 16, can drive themselves, and meets other specific requirements.

As a true co-op, we thrive on the involvement and support of every family. Your presence helps make each Enrichment Day a success. So, we encourage you to stay, serve, chat, and connect with other parents. It's a wonderful opportunity to find your circle of friends and be part of our vibrant community!

Yes! Attendance at a Gear Up meeting is essential for both new and returning members to secure your child's place in sessions. These meetings are scheduled every semester after Enrichment Session Signups but before the first day of sessions.

Please register to attend a Gear Up meeting using the BHEA calendar. Be sure you are signed in to your BHEA account first. One adult from each household must attend the Gear Up meeting. Children are welcome to come along but will need to stay with you throughout the meeting.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you there!
