Welcome to

Da Nang Homeschool Community

⭐️ Membership is by application only. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to apply.

This is a private, community-oriented group for homeschooling families living long-term in Da Nang, Vietnam.

We are a small and committed network of families—both expat and local—who value consistency, connection, and creative learning experiences. This group is not for tourists or short-term stays.

Private Homeschool vs Public Homeschool

Many homeschool groups operate like public homeschool spaces — open, rotating, and drop-in.

Those spaces can be great for casual connection, especially for short-term families or travelers.

Our community operates more like a private homeschool.

Public homeschool groups are typically:

• Open to anyone at any time

• Large and constantly changing

• Drop-in focused

• Event-based

• Low commitment

Our private homeschool community is:

• Application-based

• Intentionally small

• Designed for long-term families

• Consistency-focused

• Relationship-driven

Because families commit to the community, children benefit from:

• Familiar faces

• Deeper friendships

• Stronger group dynamics

• More meaningful learning experiences

This isn’t about exclusivity — it’s about protecting the culture, flow, and quality of the community for families who are building life in Da Nang.

Reviews

  • "Thanks to this community for making us feel welcome from the very beginning. Our kids enjoyed spending time with the other children and always looked forward to every meetup. We know they will keep these memories forever. Everyone made this space a warm and positive learning environment for all of us, and we are truly grateful."

  • "Thank you, Mrs. Mai for making our homeschool group."

💬 Who Should Join

We welcome families with children
aged 5–11 who are:

  • Actively homeschooling full-time

  • Committed to living in Da Nang long-term

  • Interested in participating regularly
    (2–3 meetups/month)

  • Respectful, community-minded, and eager to grow together

This is not a casual drop-in group. Families must apply and be approved before joining events. We’re focused on building lasting connections and a committed community for both kids and parents.

What We Value

  • Kind, respectful communication (kids & adults)

  • Low-screen, high-engagement learning (no tablets at events)

  • Consistent participation & community-mindedness

  • Creative, hands-on, real-world learning

  • A growth mindset and love of learning

🧡 We believe the best learning happens through shared values, mutual respect, and meaningful connections.

📚 What We Do

Our community offers a mix of free gatherings and optional paid clubs for homeschool and alternative-learning families. Everything we do is centered on low-screen, high-engagement learning through creative, social, and real-world experiences.

Families can come simply to connect — or join structured activities when it fits their season.

• Craft & Games Club

• Baking & Cooking Club

• Swimming Club

• Drop-In Co-Study

• Book Club

• Chess Club

• STEM Club

• Kidspreneur Club (includes Kids Market)

• Taekwondo

• Field Trips

• Playdates & Meet-Ups

Some meetups are free, while others are paid depending on materials, instruction, or planning involved. Families choose what works for them — without pressure or long-term commitments.

💡 Some activities are free casual meetups, while others have a separate cost to cover instructors, materials, or venues. These costs are in addition to the annual membership.

Example activity fees:

  • Baking / Cooking Club:
    150,000–250,000 VND per session

  • Swimming Club:
    ~900,000 VND per month

How Activities Work

FAQs

  • The membership fee helps cover all the essential background work that goes into keeping the community running smoothly — things like administration, back-and-forth communication with venues, negotiating and exploring new places and activities, interviewing and welcoming new families, and coordinating WhatsApp groups.

    Much of this work goes unseen, but it’s vital to making sure everything stays organized and accessible for families. Just as importantly, the fee creates a sense of shared commitment. By contributing, families show they are invested in showing up, participating, and being part of the community. This strengthens the group as a whole and helps us grow together in a meaningful way.

  • Membership gives your family access to:

    • Our private WhatsApp homeschool community chat

    • The monthly activity schedule (clubs, meetups, field trips, playdates)

    • Invitations to special trips, workshops, and events

    • A supportive network of homeschooling families living long-term in Da Nang

    Most activities are included, but some special workshops or field trips may have a small extra cost if supplies, venues, or outside teachers are needed.

  • Yes. All families contribute to membership. Families who actively help host or support at least one activity per month are eligible for the Community Support Membership at a reduced rate.

  • This group is designed for families staying 1 year or more. If you’re here short-term, this community may not be the best fit.

  • Membership is application-based. Families can apply, and accepted families will receive next steps for joining the community.

  • We intentionally keep the community small and manageable to support real connection and consistency. In general, we plan to cap membership at around 20–25 families so activities remain relational, familiar, and well-organized.

  • Activities take place at a variety of locations depending on the activity, including homes, cafés, studios, outdoor spaces, and local venues around Da Nang. Specific locations are always shared in advance.

  • No. All activities are scheduled in advance.

    Families receive a monthly calendar at the beginning of each month with clear dates, times, and locations for all planned activities.

    That said, we do have a community chat where families may occasionally organize casual, spontaneous playdates or meet-ups. These are optional and informal, and separate from the scheduled calendar.

    Weekly clubs rotate and may include:

    • Craft & Games

    • STEM

    • Cooking

    • Kidspreneur
