Welcome
Cobblestones is a unique blend of traditional and non-traditional learning methods offered to enhance and enrich your homeschool journey; just as cobblestones along a well worn path are all different, so are our children and their learning styles. As we strive to "come alongside" you on your homeschooling path, we want to be your homeschool helper no matter how you choose to "do school" - whether you choose "unschooling", "outschooling", or "inschooling"; as long as your goals are to teach your children to love the Lord God with all their heart and soul and strength, we encourage you to join us and our Cobblestones Community.
We are currently offering classes on Mondays and Thursdays in Powhatan. Our classes meet from September – May each year.
Our classes feature weekly lesson plans with coordinating weekly homework. All the planning is done for you. Classes offer the benefits and flexibility of multi-age classroom style learning. Students are taught in small group settings, with lots of hands-on learning and individual attention from caring teachers. Students are responsible for completing their work assignments at home, with parental help as needed.
James River Cobblestones is not a school, nor are we accredited by any state or national educational agency. Our classes are designed to enhance each participating student's home school experience, not replace it. Please note that our instructors do not have specific training for teaching students with learning disabilities or certifications for administering medical care.
