O.A.R. Community

More than a co-op.

O.A.R. is a community as well as a co-op. Alongside classes we host activities and family events in Wichita — some of them open to homeschool families who are not enrolled with us.

Who it's for

Come as you are.

You do not have to be enrolled to meet us. Open events are a low-pressure way to see how our families are together, before anyone talks about applications.

Every event on this site is labelled with its audience, so it is always clear which gatherings are for enrolled families and which are open more widely.
