Homeschooling is not school at home.
It’s a way of living that inspires students to be life-long learners, develop well-rounded social skills and engage in their local communities.

Cedarburg Public Library
We love a good library hop at Cedarburg Public Library!
This quiet and spacious library offers many cozy nooks to focus on reading or schoolwork. Notable things at this location include a Digital Lab where you can transfer old media formats (i.e. cassettes, VHS, DVD etc.) to new ones, and the Epson large-format printer which starts at $1/foot. Students can also explore STEAM concepts with activities in the Tinker Lab located across from the children's reference desk. Use of the lab is through planned registration.

More ways to socialize!
Socialization is the process of learning and adopting the values, behaviors, and social skills of a society. It's a lifelong process that shapes a person's identity and helps them fit into their culture. Ideally, you’re interacting with people of all ages in real-life situations throughout Ozaukee County. But homeschool co-ops can be a great way to find support and group outings!
