Trailside Homeschool Connection is a nonprofit homeschool enrichment community serving families throughout the Metro Atlanta area. 

We offer a variety of classes, clubs, field trips, special events, and social opportunities designed to help students learn, grow, and connect with others in a welcoming environment. 

With programs available Wednesday through Friday, families can choose from academic enrichment, creative electives, hands-on learning experiences, and community-building activities for a wide range of ages and interests. 

Whether you're looking for just one class, a full schedule, or just a community to jump into - you've found the right place!

As a secular homeschool enrichment community, Trailside welcomes families from all backgrounds and belief systems!

Policies & Procedures

Bullying: We have a zero tolerance for violence and bullying at Trailside Academy. If a situation were to occur, a parent meeting will be held. Dependent on the severity of the situation, it may warrant the individual being dismissed from the program. 

Behavior: We require that all students treat instructors, volunteers, each other, and our property with respect. We ask that students are able to keep hands to themselves, listen to their instructors and group leaders, as well as treat our leased property, furniture, and materials with care. If a student requires additional assistance in order to meet these requirements, parents or guardians are always welcome to accompany their student. 

Inclusivity: We are a secular, inclusive environment that is accepting and welcoming of all members. 

Property: Trailside rents at a wonderful church facility. Students are to show care while interacting with the property. If a student intentionally damages property, the family will be held responsible for the damage.

Illegal Substances and Weapons:  Members may not bring any illegal or substances or weapons on property. 

Devices: While devices are allowed on property, students are asked to keep them in their backpacks during instructional time unless otherwise instructed.

Lost and Found: Members are solely responsible for keeping up with their belongings while on property. While we have a lost and found, it is not guaranteed that we will be able to locate lost items.

Food:

• Students are required to bring their own lunch during lunch bunch periods.

• Students are encouraged to bring a snack and a bottle of water.

• We are unable to microwave or refridgerate member's lunches. If bringing warm lunch, please use a thermos.

Arrival: Parents must sign in their students using at the front desk upon dropping them off. Students under 16 years of age may not walk into our facility unattended. 

Dismissal: Please be sure sign out your student at the front desk. Students under 16 years of age may not walk out of our facility unattended.

Weather or Unforeseen Events: Our facility may close due to inclement weather. Closures will be announced via our social media pages and via email. If either Cobb or Cherokee counties close, we will close as well. Additionally, if our leased building experiences an inconvenience that prevents us from attending (power outage, fallen tree, burst pipes, etc.) the facility may close for those purposes as well. 

Homeschool Program: We are a homeschool group built to be a resource within the local community. We offer supplemental learning opportunities, enrichment, social experiences, and community to our program members. We are not considered the primary educator of any of our members nor are we considered a school. We are not a licensed child care facility.
