This summer class was the first of its kind for Three Sisters. Lasting four weeks with each class two hours long, we provided three instructors for 11 students. That meant a low student to teacher ratio to increase learning for a lifelong hobby. Most supplies were conveniently available through the instructors. If you have an idea for extended learning or other programming, send a message to our office at see3sis@yahoo.com

Founded by three local homeschool moms in 2004, Three Sisters remains committed to being responsive to the needs of the homeschool community. HLR, which stands for Home Learning Resources, has expanded from an admission-free retail curriculum sale to encompass a Stuff Sale, Conference, and monthly HLR Programs.
Three Sisters is open to producing new events and is actively seeking proposals to finance original projects. If you’ve always dreamed of having a home school event but lacked marketing support, a security payment for a rented hall, etc., maybe we could work with you! Send your proposals to our office at see3sis@yahoo.com with your idea! Sincerely,  Julia McGuire |
