What is it?

Full members meet every Tuesday for classes, and full members receive access to our calendar to sign up for field trips and events. NWILC is a true cooperative, meaning this wonderful group is a result of each and every parent and their contributions making it happen for our children. A parent is required to stay and either teach a class or assist in two classes. Our classes run from 9 am to 12 pm followed by lunch, recess, and an optional afternoon class that runs until 2 pm.

What is the cost?

The enrollment cost for a full membership is $125 per semester for your entire family. The cost for classes depends on which classes you choose for your children. The enrollment fee covers our necessary expenses, like rent and insurance. Class costs are determined by each teacher and applied directly to the class.

When and where are classes?

Fall semester runs from the end of August to mid-November. Spring semester runs February to April. Our classes take place at Real Life Community Church in Portage, IN.
Even though we rent classroom space from the church, we are a secular group.

Does this include trips as well?

Yes! All full memberships include access to our calendar to sign up for field trips and events. Field trips and events may have additional cost depending on the event. We receive school/group rates for many field trips. Most events and parties have no additional cost. (Note: Most parties are potluck style, so plan on bringing a dish!)
