Chapters & Tribes
How Our Community Is Organized
The Village is designed to grow through relationships and local communities.
Rather than operating as one large group, our community is organized into Chapters and Tribes.
A Chapter represents a regional community where families gather regularly. Each Chapter includes families from the surrounding area who come together for learning days, exploration, and shared experiences.
Within each Chapter are smaller groups called Tribes.
Tribes are consistent groups of families who gather regularly for activities, learning days, and community time. These smaller groups allow children and parents to build deeper friendships and create a strong sense of belonging.
While each Tribe gathers regularly, the larger Chapter community often comes together for field trips, special events, and celebrations throughout the year.
This structure allows the community to grow naturally while still keeping gatherings personal and welcoming.

Growing the Village
As families continue to connect across the Lowcountry, new Chapters may form in additional communities.
Many Chapters begin simply — a few families gathering regularly with a shared desire for connection and collaborative learning.
Over time, those gatherings grow into thriving communities of families who support one another along the homeschooling journey.
