Meet the Family Behind Moving Mountains Homeschool Co-op
We’re the Scheelks — a family passionate about hands-on learning, community, and helping kids thrive. When we started homeschooling our own children, we realized how much richer the experience could be when parents, students, and families come together to teach, explore, and grow.
Moving Mountains Homeschool Co-op was born out of this vision: a welcoming, parent-led homeschool community where students from kindergarten through high school can learn, play, and create alongside peers — and where parents actively participate in teaching, mentoring, and building friendships.
Our goal is simple: provide a safe, inspiring, and fun environment where children can develop academically, socially, and creatively, while families support one another along the homeschooling journey.
Join us and discover how learning together makes the climb — and the view — so much more rewarding.
