About Us

We are a classical homeschool co-op offering á la carte classes, all taught independently by Christian teachers, for emerging and adolescent students.

Scholé Hall is a Christian ecumenical community and non-profit organization (501c3) that exists to encourage, educate, and engage with the local community of homeschool families in and near the Georgetown, Texas area.

A note about our previous young children’s program

Our Commitment

1. We offer one-day classes for homeschool students that provide a group learning environment, along with a thorough syllabus for their self-paced work done the rest of the week. Our goal is to provide your student rigorous but life-giving classes to foster in them a lifelong love of learning so that they’ll develop rightly-ordered loves: what's true, good and beautiful.

2. Classes for middle and high school are drop-off so that you, the homeschooling parent, have a day for other things while your student enjoys learning in community and the freedom to explore the walkable historic district of Georgetown during their free time.

3. As opportunities arise, we also provide occasional field trips, study groups, service projects, and social hangouts to further foster a sense of community for all Scholé families.

Your Commitment

1. As the parents, you are the God-ordained, primary, and final educators of your students. This means we are happy to provide our classes as a means for you to educate your children, yet you are still expected to stay on top of and engaged in your students’ work. We’re grateful to partner with you!

2. Because we meet for classes in such a walkable district (one of our highlights!), you will discuss in advance with your student age 13 and older your family rules for leaving campus during the day, and will sign a waiver understanding that we are unable to provide supervision or support for your student in-between classes. This means students taking classes at Scholé Hall must be able to self-regulate their ability to follow their parents’ rules and, if necessary, watch the time in order to return to campus for their next class. (Students younger than 13 must be supervised by their parents in-between classes.)

3. Parent involvement is also minimal in our co-op. However, all families are required to serve a small amount of volunteer hours a few times per year, such as supervising the common areas of our campus while teachers are in their classes (a largely hands-off gig, and many parents also do their own work or homeschool their other children as they serve). The vast majority of our families should be able to volunteer, but we understand that there may be a few unable to due to extenuating circumstances. Because of this, these families may opt to pay an additional fee in lieu of volunteering on top of our registration fee.

Meet the Mentor-Teachers

  • Audrey Buritica

    SPANISH

    As a missionary kid growing up in Latin America, Audrey fell in love with the Spanish language and culture at a young age! Her full immersion classes focus on developing real conversation skills, weaving in vocabulary and grammar in a fun, encouraging environment where students can gain confidence and thrive as they learn Spanish.

  • Christi Covington

    MIDDLE SCHOOL HUMANITIES

    A second-generation homeschooler, Christi enjoys a good book, a good word and a good cup of tea. Nurtured in the Charlotte Mason method and trained in the classical tradition, she loves guiding her students to learn as God made them to learn--through thoughtful questions, excellent stories, diligent work and curious wonder.

  • Paige Kirsch

    SCIENCE

    Paige's specialty is combining quality labs and honors-level STEM courses with a fun classroom culture that fosters relationships and makes meaningful learning opportunities.

  • Tsh Oxenreider

    HIGH SCHOOL HUMANITIES

    Tsh is a seasoned writer who loves to pass on to adolescents her love of Great Books, good writing, thoughtful debate, and a well-placed semicolon—all best enjoyed with snacks and coffee. Can usually be found either reading or chatting with friends at 309 or puttering in her backyard garden behind her old fixer-upper off the Georgetown Square.

  • Dawn Roberts

    MATHEMATICS

    A lifelong lover of math, Dawn loves to “pay it forward” and help new students attain success in math, the way her favorite junior high and high school teachers did all those years ago.

Faith & Worldview

It's impossible to have no worldview at all—we all have one, including our teachers. Coming from a variety of backgrounds, all teachers affirm the historic Nicene Creed (which has been affirmed by all orthodox Christians since the fourth century), as well as these three tenets:

  1. The Role of Permanent Things: There is objective truth, goodness, and beauty, and they are knowable.

  2. The Role of People: Humans are made by God and are created to thrive within families. Parents, therefore, are the primary and final educators of their children.

  3. The Role of Education: True education is the formation of loving the right things in the right way. (sources: Plato and Augustine)

Families holding any worldview or faith tradition are welcome to register their students for classes, and they will not need to sign any sort of statement of faith.

Scholé Hall teachers won't shy away from their convictions, yet they will not proselytize their personal faith or worldview during classes. We wholeheartedly embrace free will, and understand that ultimately we are all called to form our own beliefs and that they must rest on some sort of foundational philosophy. Classes will not be explicitly religious in nature, and in the older grades, when the Bible is read it is treated as literature.

For more specifics about this topic related to each class, parents should directly communicate with individual teachers.
