The Well Collective meets Wednesdays, 9 AM - 3 PM.

This community is for families with kids of all ages, specifically geared toward kids ages 5 up to 8th grade.

We are not a school or drop-off program.

The Well is not a school - we are a community program designed for parents, grandparents, or caregivers to walk alongside their kiddos! Parents must remain on campus at all times.

Our focus is raising kind, thoughtful, grounded children.

At The Well, everything we do is guided by Christian values and a desire to help kids grow in wisdom and purpose. Through learning about the past, exploring the present, and imagining the future, we aim to equip them to be a light in the South Austin community.

Team work makes the dream work.

The Well Collective is big ole family - aka we need YOUR help to make it work! From walking around with a child’s group to helping take out the trash at the end of the day, everyone is needed to make our community days happen.

Our Vision for Community

At The Well Collective, our deepest desire is to build a tight-knit, deeply connected homeschool community in South Austin—one marked by shared rhythms, genuine friendship, and families who do life together.

We dream of being more than a once-a-week co-op. We long to become a place where families are all in—not just showing up, but investing in one another, growing deep, and building something lasting. We believe that deep, meaningful community doesn’t happen in a single day. It’s built slowly, through showing up again and again, through shared experiences, through everyday moments. Our hope is to grow into a collective of everyday people, not perfect people, who are practicing life in community—encouraging each other, celebrating milestones, carrying burdens, and raising children in a spirit of togetherness.

While our heart is especially for South Austin—because proximity helps make life together possible—we know that the desire for intentional community reaches far beyond one neighborhood. So if you’re outside of South Austin but feel drawn to this vision, you are absolutely welcome here. In fact, our dream is that as families grow and deepen together, new expressions of The Well Collective will begin to branch off—planted in other neighborhoods, cities, or corners of the city. We see this as the beginning of something beautiful: a growing network of local, intentional communities planted in different places, but shaped by service, simplicity, faith, and shared purpose.

Together, we’re creating a space where families can grow, serve, and show up with love in everyday ways.

FAQs

  • Costs will include tuition (per family), an enrollment fee (per family), and a supply fee (per child). Reach out for further questions!

  • We will be meeting each Wednesday in South Austin - for safety, we won’t disclose specifics online. We will message all attending families with the location.

  • As a member, you are committing to a weekly enrichment day thoughtfully planned and facilitated for you and your family. This dedicated time will provide engaging activities, learning opportunities, and a chance to connect with others.

    However, we believe that deeply rooted community can't be built in just one day a week. That’s why we offer additional opportunities to foster connection and growth throughout the year, including:

    • Monthly Family Dinners: Gather with other families to share a meal in local homes, parks, or other community spaces. The entire family is invited to come, eat, and connect.

    • Community Service Projects: We’re committed to serving our community. Several family-friendly service opportunities will be organized throughout South Austin, allowing all ages to participate and give back.

    • Play and Adventure: We love to play! Expect field trips, park playdates, and theater outings at special homeschool rates, providing both fun and enriching experiences.

    • Special Events: Throughout the year, we’ll host exciting events such as an Entrepreneurial Fair, Mom’s Night Out, Book Fairs, and more.

    Join us to build lasting connections, create memorable experiences, and engage with a vibrant community throughout the year!

  • Our community will cap at 15-20 families the first year. We will re-assess as we go, but that is the plan for now!

  • We plan to use various types of literature, science projects focused on experiments, and curriculum developed by us for the Skills for Life block.

  • Absolutely! While our primary offerings are designed for members, we understand that some families may want to participate in our community without committing to a full membership. The Well Collective will host a monthly elevated park gathering or outing that is open to all homeschooling families. Stay tuned for more details on upcoming social-only events and how to get involved. These events will be public on our website, email us for the password to access these events on our website.
