Because this community isn’t just open enrollment — and honestly, that’s intentional.

We have an application process because alignment matters here. We’re not looking for the biggest community, we’re looking for the right community. The people inside share similar values, a similar season of life, and a similar vision for what intentional living actually looks like — and that doesn’t happen by accident.

The application helps us get to know you a little before you walk in the door. Are you in the right place in your journey? Are you looking for what we’re actually offering? That matters — for you and for the members already here.

And honestly? It goes both ways. Just like we’re discerning about who joins, you should be discerning about where you invest your time and energy. We might not be the right fit for everyone — and that’s okay. We’d rather you find your right community than squeeze into one that doesn’t truly serve you.

So the application isn’t a barrier. It’s a filter — for both of us.

The membership fee helps cover all the essential background work that goes into keeping the community running smoothly — things like administration, back-and-forth communication with venues, negotiating and exploring new places and activities, interviewing and welcoming new families, and coordinating WhatsApp groups.

Much of this work goes unseen, but it’s vital to making sure everything stays organized and accessible for families. Just as importantly, the fee creates a sense of shared commitment. By contributing, families show they are invested in showing up, participating, and being part of the community. This strengthens the group as a whole and helps us grow together in a meaningful way.

Membership gives your family access to:

• Our private WhatsApp homeschool community chat

• The monthly activity schedule (clubs, meetups, field trips, playdates)

• Invitations to special trips, workshops, and events

• A supportive network of homeschooling families living long-term in Da Nang

Most activities are included, but some special workshops or field trips may have a small extra cost if supplies, venues, or outside teachers are needed.

This group is designed for families staying 1 year or more. If you’re here short-term, this community may not be the best fit.

Membership is application-based. Families can apply, and accepted families will receive next steps for joining the community.

We intentionally keep the community small and manageable to support real connection and consistency. In general, we plan to cap membership at around 20–25 families so activities remain relational, familiar, and well-organized.

Activities take place at a variety of locations depending on the activity, including homes, cafés, studios, outdoor spaces, and local venues around Da Nang. Specific locations are always shared in advance.

No. All activities are scheduled in advance.

Families receive a monthly calendar at the beginning of each month with clear dates, times, and locations for all planned activities.

That said, we do have a community chat where families may occasionally organize casual, spontaneous playdates or meet-ups. These are optional and informal, and separate from the scheduled calendar.
