Homeschool Partner Program

Grades TK - 8

In Partnership with Compass, Heartwood, & Visions In Education

Our Homeschool Partners Program is designed for children to experience the great outdoors through intentional learning and discovery-based curriculum . Our Homeschool Program runs 5 days a week for Tk & Kinder, and every Wednesday for Grades 1-8. Homeschool Funds can also be used for One-Day and School Break Camps, but are not applicable for Summer Camp.

We are certified partners with Compass, Heartwood, & Visions In Education and accept purchase orders through these organizations as part of our Homeschool program. If you are not part of these homeschool organizations please register through our Explorers or Outdoor Afterschool Programs.

To sign up for the 2025 Winter/Spring Session, please use the links to visit the correct program page and register through there. You will be prompted to choose your homeschool affiliation and pay a one-time ranch fee. Once signed up, you simply request a purchase order from your homeschool and you are all set! Questions regarding payment for homeschool can be sent to ap@connollyranch.org.

  • We maintain vendor status with the following charter schools:

    • Compass Charter School

    • Heartwood Charter School

    • Visions in Education

    To pay your Connolly Ranch Tuition with Charter School Funds:

    1. Begin registration process for your desired program.

    2. Select the option to use Homeschool Funds to pay for your tuition.

    3. Select the Homeschool organization you are affiliated with.

    4. Complete the registration process and then select the “Proceed to Payment” button in your cart.

    5. Select the payment plan option for Homeschool Funds.

    6. You will be required to pay a one-time Ranch Fee that is not covered by Homeschool Funds.

    7. Have your charter school generate & send us a PO/voucher. These can be broken up into monthly POs/Vouchers to total the cost of tuition. Make sure to request the exact amount of your program, and remind your charter school representative that funds must be received by Connolly Ranch no later than June 1, 2025 in order to keep the balance from being charged to the credit card on file.

    Charter School Fund Agreements:

    • Parent/guardians initiate PO/voucher creation.

    • Connolly Ranch must receive all your funds no later than June 1, 2025, otherwise we will charge the card on file for the balance in full (per the payment plan).  We are happy to refund your card if charter school funds come our way later, but not all schools will cover programming unless you request funds prior to the class starting.  We cannot take responsibility for charter schools not getting vouchers into our office. Please give the charter schools at least a week to process the vouchers and send them to us.

    • Families may login to their account at any time to check their balances and make payments toward any share of cost not covered by Homeschool Funds.

    • Families are responsible for understanding which classes are eligible for charter school fund tuition reimbursement.  Contact your school prior to registration if you have questions about what your school will cover. Charter schools have been changing how much they will cover each semester so be sure to check before purchasing. 

    • Parent/guardians are financially responsible for any tuition remaining after charter school funds are processed.

    • Charter School Funds are only valid for the exact class/session indicated on the voucher/PO.

    • Charter school monies may be canceled but cannot be refunded as cash or credited toward future programming.

    • Families are responsible for checking their statement and registration history and contacting Connolly Ranch if discrepancies exist.

    • Some charter schools will only cover class if you initiate charter school fund requests before class starts.  If you miss your charter school deadline for requesting funds, you are still responsible for the full tuition and may have to pay the difference out of pocket.

    Note: all registration is first-come, first-served, so we cannot guarantee that space will remain if you choose to bring your charter school funds to register in person.
