We have so much gratitude for our parent volunteers for a wonderful Back-To-School Celebration! They put together a great day to meet friends old and new at Bonner Park- complete with face painting, a clown, and Missoula MiniGolf! 🥳

It’s never too late to get in on the fun!

Zootown Homeschooling Community will be hosting a FREE event at the Missoula Public Library on the 4th floor on September 11th, from 4:15 to 5:15. If you are curious about our group, or homeschooling in general, we encourage you to attend! There will be some simple activities for kids and refreshments for all!

Trying to capture the magic of a weekend spent together at Camp Paxson ✨

We are so grateful to Larch Outdoor Education for hosting our families and creating such a special opportunity to connect—with nature and with one another. From shared adventures to hands-on learning activities, every moment reflected the incredible community they've cultivated at Camp Paxson.

Thank you for an unforgettable weekend filled with connection, discovery, and so many wonderful memories. 💚💚💚

We are so excited to be participating in Missoula Gives this year! Please consider giving to ZHC to help us build our scholarship fund and to support us in providing more free and low cost field trips, classes, and activities for our families.

We serve many families that didn’t find traditional schooling to be a good fit for their families for varied reasons, and our organization provides support for parents and their children so they can thrive!

Please share!

I’m ready to support Zootown Homeschooling Community on April 30, 2026 during Missoula & Bitterroot Gives. Learn more about Zootown Homeschooling Community and all the other organizations participating in Missoula & Bitterroot Gives.

So much gratitude to the Montana Historical Society for guiding our families on an epic tour of our State’s Capital city!

Our students got behind-the-scenes at the Montana State Capitol building, the Original Governor’s Mansion, a special tour of the newly opened Montana Heritage Center, and an introduction to Montana’s favorite artist (Charles M. Russell, iykyk).

Thank you especially to Carly for being an exemplary tour guide- you made wrangling multiple ages and interests within our group look easy!

Our field trip took us to the Roxy Theater, where we explored the space, learned about theater operations, and then settled in for a show—popcorn included! Moments like these make learning together so special. Big thanks The Roxy Theater for having our group!
