About Us

Nature and STEAM Secular Co-op of Johnston County is an inclusive community of homeschooling families who are encouraged to be respectful and supportive of the diversity of their fellow group members. While we may differ in homeschool style, race, religion, life philosophy, political views, and family composition, we all share common goals: to foster a love of learning, encourage friendships, and provide a sense of community for our families.

Mission

Our mission of Nature and STEAM Secular Co-op of Johnston County (NSTEAM) is to provide a dynamic and unique educational community focused on inclusivity and collaboration. Gathering in local outdoor spaces, we are committed to offering weekly member-led classes and supplemental experiences and excursions. We are focused on nature, science, technology, engineering, art and math lessons that foster a nurturing environment of curiosity, critical thinking and respect for diverse perspectives. NSTEAM is a cooperative where homeschool families share resources and inspire a love of learning that caters to the unique needs and interests of each student. We aim to create a supportive network that enhances the homeschooling journey for all members.

Vision

To build a thriving, secular, and inclusive homeschool cooperative in Johnston County that fosters lifelong learning, critical thinking and innovation, empowering future generations to lead with curiosity and passion.
