Fields of
Harvest
Homeschool Co-Op · Grades K–12

"Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."— Matthew 9:38

Enrichment Classes
Art, drama, science experiments, life skills, and more — taught by talented co-op parents who love what they share.
A Community Built on
Faith & Family
Fields of Harvest is more than a co-op — it's a family. Every Friday in Portage, Indiana, homeschooling families come together to share their gifts, encourage one another, and give their children friendships and experiences that last a lifetime. If you've been searching for your people, you've found them.
Faith-Centered
Every class, every outing, every gathering is rooted in Christian values. We nurture the whole child — heart, mind, and spirit — so they grow up grounded in what matters most.
Parent-Led
You are your child's best teacher — and here, that's celebrated. Parents bring their unique talents to the table, and together we create something none of us could do alone.
Curriculum-Free
Already using a curriculum you love? Great — keep it! We're here to enrich and expand your family's journey, not replace it.
Our Philosophy
We don't follow a single curriculum or method — because we believe great homeschooling looks different for every family. What we do share is a set of core values that guide everything we do together.
Whole-Child Learning
We believe education is more than academics. Social skills, character, creativity, and faith development are just as important as math and reading.
Child-Led Curiosity
Children learn best when they're genuinely interested. We create environments that spark wonder and allow kids to explore at their own pace.
Community as Curriculum
Learning alongside others — of different ages, backgrounds, and abilities — is itself a profound education. Our multi-age setting builds empathy, leadership, and lifelong friendships.
Scripture as Foundation
God's Word shapes how we see the world. Whether it's science, history, or art, we view every subject through the lens of a Creator who made it all.

Learning That Comes Alive
Forget boring. At Fields of Harvest, learning is loud, messy, joyful, and unforgettable. From hands-on science to wide-open fields, we create the kinds of days kids talk about for years.
Extracurricular Classes
Hands-on, parent-led classes that spark creativity and curiosity — think art projects, science experiments, music, drama, cooking, and more. Every Friday is something new to look forward to.
Field Trips
Learning leaps off the page and into the real world. From local farms and historical sites to nature preserves and museums, our field trips create memories — and real education.
Nature Days
Kids were made to run, explore, and wonder. On Nature Days we ditch the desks, breathe the fresh air, and let children connect with God's creation in the best classroom of all — the great outdoors.
All Ages Welcome
From curious kindergartners to graduating seniors — and even the little ones tagging along — every child has a place here. Our multi-age environment builds friendships that cross grade lines.
