The YMCA of Orange County has a long history of making a positive impact on the lives of children. As the landscape of education changes, the Y recognizes the need for more Homeschool and Enrichment learning opportunities. Using our 100+ years of experience, highly-trained staff, and homeschool partnerships, we are ready to help you and your children thrive with our comprehensive homeschooling programs! We are proud to offer our services to all YMCA members and non-members. All are welcome!
WE ACCEPT CHARTER FUNDS!
As we look forward to the upcoming fall sessions, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our dedicated families who have supported our growth over the past three years. Your commitment and enthusiasm have shaped the YMCA of Orange County’s Homeschool Electives and Support Programs into the thriving community it is today. This past session marked a significant milestone as we filled every class—a true testament to the unique and valuable space we’ve built together.
Our program is rooted in Common Core standards, providing elective classes with an educational foundation specifically designed with your child in mind. What sets us apart is our commitment to blending rigorous educational principles with the freedom and exploration that homeschool families value. Our passionate and dedicated teachers bring a deep understanding of both education and homeschool culture, creating a safe and supportive environment where students can learn, experience, and grow.
As we continue to fill a vital gap in the homeschool community, we are excited to offer our 13-week electives this fall, which we anticipate filling quickly. In addition to classes, we provide family field trips, monthly social events, curriculum swaps, and community gatherings—even park days! We encourage you to join us in any way you can, whether through classes or community events.
We are grateful for the amazing teachers who pour their hearts into this program and the incredible families who make it all possible. Join us this fall and become part of our ever-growing, dynamic community—where learning is hands-on, student-led, and rooted in connection.
We look forward to welcoming new families and reconnecting with returning ones!
Sincerely,
Staff Testimonial:
“When working with kids, one of the greatest things to see is how imaginative each child truly is. As an instructor, the best part of the day is seeing the excitement that goes into everything they do. Every student has something special to contribute, and Homeschools’ continuous focus on teaching through creativity and self-expression is what makes this program thrive!” -Drea Rodriguez
