Welcome to Shanan!

Shanan is a homeschool cooperative that aims to keep the whole family together. We serve parents and their children, from birth through 12th grade. We meet in Franklin, TN. Shanan is designed for families to attend and participate together - in a true cooperative spirit. 

We start with “Connection Time” (CT) where we focus our hearts and minds on Jesus. CT includes any combination of the following: praise, devotion, a time of honor, a guest speaker, a student speaker, a class skit, and more. Immediately following, we have two morning class periods, followed by lunch hour, and then two subsequent afternoon classes. All moms teach two classes and remain on campus to use the alternate two class periods as “free time” for fellowship and building relationships with other moms.

We offer childcare for infants and toddlers and a wide variety of classes - both elective and academic in nature - for students from Pre-Kindergarten thru 12th grade. Classes differ from year to year based on the needs of our group and the subjects our moms are able to teach. We also have many events and field trips throughout the year to build relationships within our community. 

Yearly Fees include:

• $175 Family Registration Fee ($200 after May 1st)
