Welcome to HATCH, an education resource for homeschool families in the upper Hudson Valley. HATCH is a semi-contrived acronym that stands for Hudson Area Teaching Cooperative for Homeschoolers.
The mission (here) is to provide support for homeschool families in math, writing and education generally. We will be an additional resource (drop off program) for those currently or considering homeschooling.
We start Wednesday January 8, 2014 and run for 5 weeks in our mini session, followed by a new 5 week session before summer break. Students from 7 years to 16 years, working in two age groups, can be dropped off at Kite's Nest, located in the Annex building of Basilica Hudson at 108 South Front St. at 10 AM and picked up at 2 PM.
We are happy to be working with the fabulous people at Kite's Nest who have been generous with their time and space. With Kite's Nest, will also become a center for learning and innovation in education, in addition to all the other great stuff there. Get it? HATCH? What hatches? An egg? Where does it hatch? In a nest!
