Welcome to the Home School Cottage!


About Our Hours
The Home School Cottage is officially open from 12-5pm, Tuesday through Thursday, as this is the time that we are fully staffed and able to give you all of the attention that you deserve. But, for those of you who can only visit the Cottage in the morning, someone is usually at the Cottage at 10am - just call ahead at (985) 643-0104 to let us know if you plan to stop by before noon. Please note that our staffing is limited between 10am and 12pm on Tue-Thu (Sept-May), so if you know you will need some time to talk to us about curriculum, tutoring, or consignments, please try to visit during our "core" hours of 12-5pm.

Best Times to Come by the Cottage for...
...Picking Out Curriculum
- Tue/Thu afternoons with Denise
- Wed afternoons with Alyson

....Dropping Off Books
- Fridays are the best!

....New Homeschooler One-on-One

Check our Calendar for details on days that the store is open and special hours. With the holidays coming up, our schedule will be a little different for awhile!

One More Thing... Check the Calendar for open Saturdays - we are trying to be open as many Saturdays as possible.

When bringing in your books to sale remember:
  1. Good condition
  2. Old editions must have everything (complete set)
  3. If your old editions, references, etc. have been with us more than one year and you had previously indicated to us they could be donated, we now have 2 missionaires who receive these donations
You will see lots of changes at the store. Every month we are trying to add something new to our books or our toy store. If you have any suggestions or have found something awesome, let us know!

We are making every effort to get organized, find out what is new, offer counseling for new homeschooling parents, and constantly come up with new ideas. We want to thank all of you who have been so encouraging and patient.
