Frequently Asked Questions - The Homestead Schoolhouse

Here are a few of the questions we are frequently asked. Please feel free to contact us if you have other questions.

Enrollment

We are currently accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year. Please contact us to set up a visit.

Cost

The cost is $400 per month, per student, but thanks to The Proverbs 22:6 Project, no student will pay full tuition. We have partial scholarships available for every student who enrolls, based on the number of students enrolling per family. We also have a variety of payment plans available.

Many people will say they could never afford a private education for their children. But prayerfully consider The Homestead Schoolhouse. If you feel it would be a good fit for your family, ask God to show you how to make it work financially. We are also currently raising scholarship money to make this an affordable option.

Through the generosity of our community friends, we plan to offer every student who attends The Homestead Schoolhouse a partial scholarship. If you can help with that, check out the Proverbs 22:6 Project.

We are so grateful to our financial partners! The Homestead Schoolhouse is a nonprofit organization, and your donations are tax-deductible. You may mail a check to The Homestead Schoolhouse, P.O. Box 272, Taneyville, MO 65759, or donate online if you prefer.

We hope to do so in the future! We will work with the Health Department to ensure our kitchen is approved. We will need to be able to cover the cost of hiring a head cook and make the lunches affordable for families to purchase.

Yes. Research has shown that school uniforms have several benefits. Even though we include an agriculture element, we strive to teach our students to be professional and know how to present themselves. Many places of employment require uniforms or some type of dress code. We have tried to make the uniforms as affordable and practical as possible.

We have several security measures in place. Those will be outlined to parents during the enrollment process.

Extracurricular

We love homeschool families and support their desire to educate their children. However, we are unable to accommodate part-time students at this time.

Not at this time. Students have a recess time each day for recreational sports and a structured P.E. time where they learn a variety of sports, but we don’t have a league for students to participate in competitively.
