Associate Membership

Many families enroll as Associate Members. These families have enrolled in another church school (i.e., homeschool covering) but wish to participate in the Excalibur activities.

Associate membership entitles you to all the benefits of the support group family without the additional legal covering provided by Full Membership.


If you choose this option, you will not be required to submit Church School Enrollment Forms to Excalibur nor will you need to submit to us any progress reports. The cost is $150 for the year. New Associate Member-families must still pay the one-time $25 application fee.

Excalibur II:

An option for

  • those who live too far from Excalibur (more than 25 miles) to participate in support group activities...

or for

  • those who the administration believes would better be served by its unique flexibility.

What if I'm new to homeschooling?

Most people who are new to homeschooling are very anxious and have a lot of questions. We'll do our best to calm your fears and smooth the way for you.

What about the interview? What can I expect?

Our primary goal in the interview is to determine if we can meet your needs. A very tiny number of families come expecting something we can't deliver. Excalibur may not be right for you.

Our secondary goal is to answer your questions and ease your anxiety about homeschooling. Typical questions for new homeschoolers include:

Where do we attend?

As a homeschooling family, you determine where you will educate your children. The joy of homeschooling is that you have the liberty to go anywhere, anytime, to do anything that you consider educational for your children. Just keep in mind that children should always be supervised during the normal school day.

What curriculum do you use?

Most new homeschoolers will want to take advantage of our new online curriculum allowing your computer to do the teaching and grading. In certain situations and depending upon the needs of your family and student, we may advise you to use another curriculum.

Online Curriculum

Students excel using Alpha Omega's award-winning on-line curriculum. The stimulating multimedia and interactive format infuse the learning process with plenty of excitement. The five core subjects -- Bible, Language Arts, Math, History and Geography, and Science -- plus a variety of electives are available.

Log in through the Excalibur website and let us do the grading and reporting. If you need access to qualified teachers to supplement the program, sign up for tutor support and get up to five hours of personal tutoring per month.
