Portneuf Homeschool Collective: Pocatello Homeschool Co-op

Portneuf Homeschool Collective in Pocatello is a vibrant, inclusive co-op designed to support homeschooling families with a focus on diverse learning needs. Serving preschool (ages 2-5), elementary (K-5), and middle school (6-8) students, the collective provides a supportive environment that integrates special education support, individualized education programs (IEPs), and developmental assistance into its community-driven model.

The collective offers a wide range of engaging classes—including science, arts, literature, and physical education—taught by parent-educators and community experts. Using a collaborative teaching model, multiple instructors share responsibilities to provide varied instructional approaches and personalized attention to each student's unique learning requirements. This structure allows for specialized focus on therapeutic services and developmental support within a social, peer-based setting.

As a registered non-profit, the collective is committed to accessibility, offering scholarships for families in need to ensure high-quality educational experiences remain affordable. Beyond the classroom, families can connect through field trips, workshops, and community service projects, fostering a strong network of mentorship and support for both students and parents navigating the homeschooling journey.
