Friday Enrichment, or FE, is a series of classes taught on Friday mornings by both parents and non-member professionals. Classes range from fairly academic to completely whimsical, with a wide and ever-changing range of options in between. We meet at a church near the Chapel Hill/Durham line, making this popular program accessible to homeschoolers throughout the Triangle. These classes are a tremendous opportunity to meet and know other local homeschool families, while learning and playing together.
Although you must be a member of CHH to enroll in classes, anyone may submit a class proposal. If you wish to submit more than one class, please fill out the form again. If you have any questions, just contact the FE Coordinator at fe@chapelhillhomeschoolers.com.
Dates and TimesThe Winter/Spring sessions of Friday Enrichment will be split into younger and older age groups, with the possibility of some classes available for children out of the age range at each session. These age ranges mirror those of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA Homeschool Team Time. Each session will be for 8 weeks. The dates of the upcoming sessions will be announced here.
Parents and non-CHH educators are encouraged to submit class proposals. You do not have to have teaching experience or certification to create and run a successful class! All subjects are welcome, but particularly popular subjects have included science experiments, art, introductory music, games, theater, improv, preschool, and hands-on history. Some subjects have been less popular, such as poetry, creative writing, and foreign languages. However, you might have a class idea along these lines that would be a hit! Please, give it a try! All teachers set their own fees, paying to CHH an amount determined by the coordinator to cover the administrative costs and room fees. Teachers do not have to teach the entire session. You may submit two-hour and/or one-hour class proposals. Classes may meet one, two, or more consecutive weeks. However, the most popular classes have most often been those that run for one hour and the entire session. The next opportunity to teach in Friday Enrichment will be in the late summer for the Fall, 2013 session. Thank you for your interest!
