Parents and Community Members Leading the Way in Homeschool Education
It is time to...
Bring the Little Red Schoolhouse Back into our Communities…
Let's Take a Lil Red Tour!
Think Little Red School House...with a modern Twist.
Lil Red is a tiny school, providing needed physical space + social connection to home school communities. Each Lil Red is placed in your neighborhood, integrated into your community, and conveniently located to family co-op members. It's like bringing the “little red country school house” of the old days back into the neighborhood, but with a modern twist!
Integrated into the community, Lil Red is more than just a school building. We start by helping families take that first step back to simpler times and then we continue supporting them by building and fostering a community around Lil Red - just like in the old days, when the school house was a centerpiece in the neighborhood. We support collaboration and creativity, provide a school identity and give students a sense of pride and belonging. In addition to normal homeschool activities on a daily basis, Lil Red is also utilized within the homeschool community for regular get-togethers, group activities, celebrations and events supporting the entire homeschool community!
Our passion is connecting families and communities as we build our Lil Red network of schools. We encourage the sharing of resources, ideas and experiences. We aspire to awake that spark of creativity, to recognize the unique talents of each student - and each parent - and to inspire and encourage one another along the way. It's all about coming together for the kids and creating the best possible environment for each child's success. And, we simply want to making learning fun again!
It's why we're here and it's our passion!
We recognize that connection to each other and to our communities is the glue holding together our Lil Red vision. Your support is a key to our growth and we would love to have you join us in creating futures!
Watch Us Grow! Our goal is 1,000 Lil Red homeschool communities across the country by the year 2030 - a BIG goal, but we know we can do it! Join us and together, we will not only make it happen, but we'll also make it fun!
Here are our TOP three projects. We'd be forever grateful for your support!
We finally got Lil Red #3 released & we've got a new builder! Join us in reaching our goal to finish out our Lil Red Tiny School #3 and get her to the kiddos for the school year!
Help us to build more Lil Reds for our Homeschool Families and Communities. Our mission is to place 1,000 Lil Reds into homeschool communities across the nation.
Change a future. Award a Scholarship to one of our homeschool kiddos giving them unlimited access to Lil Red for just $1,000/year or $100/month. Or sponsor a student at any $ you wish.
It all starts by connecting with local homeschool families and deciding to give your kids the future you want them to experience!
Every homeschool co-op gets a website to start connecting right away to the homeschool community.

We thought it was time to bring the Little Red Schoolhouse back into our communities and that's exactly what we did
Lil Red Riverton was the very first of what will hopefully become thousands of tiny schools in the country. We love the Lill Red mission to create connections among homeschool families and support them by eliminating one of their biggest challenges…where to meet! We're proud to be the first homeschool community hosting a Lil Red and we'd love to have you watch us grow!
Lil Red Wiggins invites you to join the Lil Red community and immerse you and your family in a collaborative and enriching educational and social environment, where your involvement directly enhances the experience for all. Our shared collaboration fosters a support system allowing homeschool families to have an experience that is so much more than going it alone.
Lil Red #3 has had a bit of a ride and we need your help! We've finally got her released and we've found a new builder. The original builder did not complete the inside (though they were paid!) and we're trying to raise $25,000 to get Lil Red finished and ready for the 2024/25 school year. Anything you can do to help would be very much appreciated. And, we do not yet have a home, so feel free to apply!
We believe that empowering children and families is an investment in our collective future. Each day, we take one more step together towards
creating an alternative to our current education system and to building the future we want for our children. We invite you to join us in our
movement and we promise to share our progress and our adventures with you every step of the way.
Thank you for helping us to create futures!

“We were lucky enough to find Lil Red right after moving into the neighborhood. It was such a blessing for my kids and I to meet other people and have an immediate group to be part of. My kids have loved the freedom to learn hands-on and then have time to free play with other children. When I decided to homeschool I knew I still wanted social experiences for them, and was so grateful for this in-between!”

“One of the most exciting things for me has been the friendships that are made at Lil Red. I also feel like it has given me the confidence to feel like I could do homeschool in the future. I enjoy learning and collaborating with all the other parents as well. I think Lil Red is such an appealing place situated in a lovely neighborhood where everyone feels like they have a part.”
