Our Flagship Program: the Explorers Club
The Explorers Club is a weekly (Thursday mornings) enrichment club for PK3 - 12th grade homeschooling students in the greater Biloxi area. Club meetings provide our explorers the opportunity for rigorous unit-based science study, high quality visual art creation, meaningful faith lessons, and socialization with their peers. Our aim is to illuminate the beauty, wonder, and goodness of God through our work.
SME has been blessed with expansive growth over the last three years. We've grown from only serving PK4-3rd graders in our first semester (Fall 2022) to serving PK3 to 5th graders plus a sibling extension program in this last year (Spring 2024) to having over 60 registered children in grades PK3-10th for the Spring 2025 semester. We begun Year Four of our program in August 2025 with 89 registered Explorers in grades PK3-12th.
Registration for 2026-27 is open for new families. Registration will remain open until our programs are full. SME programs are filled on a first come, first served bases. As of 6/11, the PK & K group is full. The other groups have 2-5 seats available depending on group.
