About us

The Phoenix Collective

is a secular homeschooling group that inspires youth to explore the world, uncover their passions, build their toolbox, and thrive in community.

Started by a group of families looking for a community for home-based educators in Lawrence, the Phoenix Collective is a group of all ages children and their primary caregivers. Each week we meet for one Exploration day and one Adventure day to embrace community learning in subjects from locksport (lock picking) to herbal first-aid to fun math.

We Value

  • Community (safety & belonging)

  • Passion (inner spark, unique interests)

  • Tools (skills to do purposeful work)

  • Exposure (to the many ways of being, opportunities in the world)

Growing with our children through modeling lifelong learning and accessing our community for a wonder-filled life.
