For local homeschoolers, I've got space available in the classes I am offering as part of the FreeSpace Learning Pod. We're a small group of dedicated homeschoolers offering a low-stress environment for high schoolers to get the classes they need. Parents can drop off students aged 14+ for classes, or can stay and hang out. It's a teen-only environment, but younger kids are welcome to stay with parents. There is no fee beyond the class charges to attend. We ask only that you follow our minimal rules, respect the space and other students, and come to learn. We meet at 950 Shiloh Rd NW in Kennesaw.
