Welcome to Spectrum Christian Homeschool Community!

Spectrum Christian Homeschool Community is a group of Christian families who join together for academics, enrichment, fellowship, and service to meet the needs of our homeschooled children.  We aim to provide homeschoolers with excellent teachers and classes in a bi-weekly classroom setting that facilitates information gathering and learning while parents direct and evaluate their students' progress at home. Teachers who profess faith in Jesus Christ and who specialize in various academic core and elective class areas make up our talented tutorial staff.

Students may choose one class or many from our Tuesday/Thursday schedules. Classes meet at Hope Baptist Church in Laurel, Maryland.

Who We Are

Our Vision

To provide homeschool families with a classroom setting that facilitates information gathering and learning while parents direct and evaluate their students’ progress.

Spectrum “Essentials”

  • We are a Christ-centered organization.
  • We are governed by the Oversight Committee (the OC), a rotating volunteer board of directors made up of Spectrum parents and/or staff members.
  • All of our OC members, teachers, and staff members are professed followers of Jesus Christ.
  • We provide support to home-schooling parents and students by offering classes for which tuition is charged. (Tuition does not cover the cost of books, materials, or special supply fees.)
  • We are not a co-op or a school. 
  • We do not provide record-keeping or grading services (except for some dialectic- and rhetoric-level classes as well as grammar-level English). 
  • All students enrolled in Spectrum’s history classes will be studying the same time period simultaneously.
  • In each class, opportunities exist for a light through a much more intense and/or difficult workload.
