HARC Calendar

 

2025-2026 Calendar

Closings and Delays: HARC will post closings on the homepage of the Shepherd’s Homeschoolers Website.  This is on a class basis depending on when the roads become difficult to drive on. Please check the site during bad weather.  Announcements for closures will be posted by 7 am.  In the event of closure, instructors have the option to move classes online.   We recognize that each family must choose safety for their students.  Make sure to contact your instructor to stay current with assignments.  Assignments are tracked on Canvas.

HARC Workshop —

Thursday, November 6, at 6:30pm
The Lodge in the Children’s Center Building at The Shepherd’s Church

Money for College: Where and How
The average college cost is over $38K/year. If you don’t have that much kicking around your bank account, ne’er fear – God has more resources than we can imagine! By His grace, our four kids were awarded a cumulative $1.7 million in merit scholarships. Come hear the best tips we learned about how to make college affordable through financial aid, early credit, tax breaks, and more. (Note: middle school is not too early to start thinking about this!)  

In her 25 years of homeschooling, Missy Fox saw firsthand the varied paths God has for our children. Her own homeschool grads went on to earn degrees in engineering, music, literature, Bible, and political theory, and they averaged $400K apiece in merit scholarship awards. The greatest blessing, though, was that God used their college years to draw them much closer to Himself so that they are each serving Him joyfully today. Missy loves helping families through the homeschool-to-college transition, speaking and teaching on high school planning, transcripts, scholarships, test prep, and application essay writing.  Her company is called Foxbridge Prep.

AND information about studying abroad from a former HARC student!
