Community. Education. Support.
Our largest program is Branches – an academic program that covers all ages all the way from babies through 12th grade. We cover classes that are difficult to teach at home such as gym, writing, science, art and music. We have nursery available for our youngest homeschoolers and dual enrollment for college credit for our high school students.
Because this program is a cooperative, primary parents (Pre-K through 5th grade) stay and volunteer. Secondary parents (6th-12th grade) may either volunteer or choose to drop off for an additional fee.
We meet for 12 weeks in the fall and 12 weeks in the winter on Thursdays from 9 to 2:35 pm in Spencerport. You can choose full days or half days (AM or PM).
Please note that Grace is worldview neutral. Students and teachers may discuss worldview issues as a matter of academic interest but teachers’ views will not be taught with authority during our programs.

As someone who has always homeschooled and never been a part of a coop before, I couldn’t have found a better place for my kids or myself. I love being apart of something so amazing.

We joined because public school didn’t have the tools to help our children prosper. I can’t thank Grace enough for giving myself and my boys the opportunity to learn and grow together.

I love working as a team and all of the support and friendship that comes from the community.
