Labyrinth Home Education Co-op (Sammamish, Redmond, Issaquah)
Labyrinth was established to facilitate a strong sense of community among homeschoolers on the Eastside. Our group consists of families united voluntarily to meet their needs and aspirations with the common purpose of educating their children.
Our reasons for home schooling differ, as do our styles and approaches to education. What we share is a respect for all learners and a desire to support one another. We believe the best thing for children is a strong family base and we work to support our families in that endeavor. Families joining Labyrinth provide the foundation for building an atmosphere of respect where learning and sharing can occur successfully.
We offer classes from pre K through high school including science, language arts, art, math, gymnastics and crafts as well as other classes. We meet Tuesdays from mid September to May at Mary Queen of Peace Parish in Sammamish.
Please see our website at www.labyrinthcoop.org for more information.
