Enrich Homeschooling Support Organization

Homeschooling Support for Parents in the Charlotte, North Carolina Area

We’re here to help you succeed at homeschooling!

  ***What's New?***

Our 2011-2012 is just beginning and we at Enrich are very excited!  

The Board of Enrich has spent the past year deep in the process of making the transition from traditional support group to an active 501c3 nonprofit that serves the homeschooling community.  We are continuing that process in the coming year and are pleased to let our homeschooling community know what we’re offering.

After a very successful first year, Enrichment Tuesdays is returning with even more enrichment class offerings.  Last session, Enrichment Tuesdays served 72 students!  If you haven’t received our catalog, it is available now.

Enrichment Tuesdays Catalog

With the help of our volunteers, Enrich will again be offering 4-H, Science Olympiad, Cabarrus County Fair Booth, Spelling Bee, a yearbook, field trips, community service, and community building activities.  As the year progresses, we anticipate adding additional services!

New for Enrich members this year...no job requirements!  That's right, members are no longer obligated to complete a job to remain in good standing.  Enrich members are still strongly encouraged to volunteer.  We’re seeking volunteers from the greater community as well.  Enrich needs volunteers to continue to provide excellent programming!


We hope that you will join us for a very exciting year!

September Science Club

From our Science Club blog

Science Club may have been cancelled this month, but that doesn't stop the science (though it can slow it down)! We've gone and recorded the session that was supposed to occur and even taped the experiment itself! You can get both parts of the video in our YouTube channel (or pick 'em up in our embeds below)!

Remember to check our Friends of Enrich and Enrich mailing lists for October's Science Club!

First Meeting!

From our Science Club blog

Science Club had it's first meeting on August 15th and we had a blast! The main topic of discussion was distance, velocity and acceleration: covering the relationship between these three physical characteristics and how to calculate them. Oh yeah...we also fired off some rockets!

Science Club will pick back up in September continuing our physics section! Next time, we talk about Newton's second law which is all about force (and what better way to look at the physics of force than to hit stuff and measure it!)!

Science Club: The Race is On!

From our Science Club blog

Science Club kicks off this Sunday at 2pm at the Davis' home (backyard technically). We'll be kicking off our Physics 101 unit with "Distance, Velocity and Acceleration" which should be a fun and light way for everyone to get onto the swing of things. We will need students to bring a toy car (Matchbox or Hot Wheels sized), a stopwatch (of some kind - one built into a phone or watch is fine) and a tape measure. We will be doing a bit of math in the main session (division is the highest level required and students will be in groups) with the younger set doing some basic measuring. We don't expect to run late, so we should wrap up at about 3:15!

We do need parents to RSVP (respond to this notice) so that we can send them directions and a copy of the standard release waiver for Science Club. Also, if you have a student who would like to hang out for the advanced material at the end of the meeting, please include that in your RSVP (along with an indication of what level of math is suitable).  Send those responses to rjstreet@newmyths.org

We look forward to seeing everyone and racing some cars and firing off some rockets!

Girl Scouts

From our Girl Scouts blog blog

Enrich sponsors a mixed Brownie/Junior/Cadette Girl Scout troop for our interested members who have daughters in 2nd to 8th grade, as well as for other girls in the homeschool community (as space is available). Homeschooling and Girl Scouting are a natural fit! There is so much to explore and there are so many great activities available, from outdoor exploration to science and math, the arts, planning for the future and more. Participating in Girl Scouting is a great opportunity for girls to receive recognition for things they are likely already doing as well as stretch their wings a bit. If you would like more information, please email us----girls can join at any point in the year!  Girl Scouts Contact
