Muslim Homeschoolers
By teaching, you will LEARN. By learning, they will TEACH.
​Muslim Homeschoolers Cooperative is an important part of the infrastructure of our community and plays a critical role in supporting the whole child, not just their academic achievement. Our focus is to protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of our families,
and prepare a fun educating environment for our children.
Muslim Homeschoolers
Muslim Homeschoolers Co-op is a homeschool group with the desire to build relationships and community among homeschool families in the South Jersey area and beyond. We offer an inexpensive social, as well as an educational experience, for both the students and the parents through our workshops and activities. Our co-op is a family affair, not a drop-off program. Parents work together to lead workshops in the subjects and age groups they feel most equipped. We also bring in professional instructors to teach exciting workshops our children would not otherwise have access to. Classes are taught from the Muslim perspective and are geared to enhance what the students are learning at home. We want you to come to find your place with us. Words can only describe our homeschooling network but so much. A visit will let you experience it. Learn about our families, community impact, and how we support our children here at Muslim Homeschoolers.
