LHN Circles
LHN Circles are interest-based groups led by volunteers within the Lighthouse Homeschool Network community. They provide opportunities for students and families to learn, grow, develop skills, build friendships, and serve others while pursuing shared interests and passions.
Each circle is unique, but all seek to support the holistic development of homeschoolers through learning, leadership, creativity, fellowship, service, and character formation. Circles are led by dedicated parent volunteers who generously share their time, talents, and expertise to bless the community.
Whether your child enjoys science, coding, music, arts, public speaking, entrepreneurship, scouting, fitness, or creative expression, there is likely a circle where they can belong, learn, and thrive.
