Frequently Asked Questions - Living Water Enrichment (LWE)


LWE is is designed to provide cooperative and group learning experiences for children (infants through high school) of LWHE members. We do this in two ways:

- Classes whereby one teacher teaches the subject matter for the duration of the semster.
- Co-ops (or co-operatives) whereby parents participate in teaching the subject matter on a rotating basis. The parent is given the lesson plans ahead of time in order to prepare for their teaching rotation.

Living Water Enrichment is NOT a substitute for the daily home education of your child and it is NOT a school.

No. Only members of LWHE may register for LWE.

Yes. Every family that registers for classes in any given semester is required to pay a registration fee. The registration fee covers a portion of the Building Usage Fee (the cost associated with renting a facility each semester in which to conduct the classes). The rate may change semester to semester so visit our LWE page for current LWE registration fee information.

Additionally, some classes may require a nominal fee for supplies as required by the class which is communicated in advance of registration.

There are, on occasion, classes on the roster that have an outside instructor who is paid to teach the class. In those cases, the instructor sets the fees for participation in his/her class and usually communicated well in advance of registration.

There are two semesters each year. The first semester runs from September through December. The second semester runs January through May.

The classes are held on Mondays but not every week. Typically there are three, sometimes two classes per month depending on the availability of the facility.

Class times begin at 9:00am and end at 2:00pm. Some classes (eg. Book Club) may only meet once a month.

LWE is held at Easton Bible Church located at 2407 Fostertown Road in Hainesport. Visit our LWE page for the Mapquest directions link.

Classes change from semester to semester so for the most current class schedule visit the LWE page and click on the Class Schedule Matrix. For a detailed description of the classes, click on the Class Descriptions link.

Our members do! LWE is mostly a volunteer effort that taps into the skill sets of our members. On occasion, LWE does bring in an outside paid instructor to teach specialized classes.

It is possible. However, any member that has volunteered to teach, or any outside paid instructor, must abide by and respect the LWHE Leadership Faith Statement and not teach anything that is contradictory to it.

We would LOVE for you to teach a class but it is not a requirement in order to register your child(ren) for LWE. However, volunteering in some capacity during the course of the LWE day IS required. During registration you will be asked to sign up for a volunteer position (eg. hall monitor from 10:00am - 11:00am or setup/breakdown, etc.).

If you register your child for a co-op then you will be required to teach the subject matter from a provided lesson plan on a rotation schedule (usually once during a semester).

We have many members within our group that are seasoned LWE instructors that will be happy to assist you in preparing for teaching your class! Contact Brook Gall, LWE Coordinator, at rivergirl72@comcast.net and she can direct you to your "LWE Buddy". You can do this!

Terrific! Contact the appropriate LWE coordinators below:

For elementary grade classes contact Bobbi Cascarella at cascafam6@gmail.com.

For middle school classes contact Brook Gall at rivergirl72@comcast.net.

For high school classes contact Rosemary Laberee at rosemary@lwhe.org.

Not at all! While we are always looking for our members to volunteer to teach at LWE, we also encourage our members to faciliate their own private co-ops in the setting of their choice. Often times, this is the first step in feeling comfortable enough to teach a class at LWE!

Yes! For the complete details of parent and student expectations, read the LWE Rules and Guidelines document and review them with your children.

Parents with children under the age of 10 must remain in the building the entire time their children are in LWE. For more detailed information about this and other rules and guidelines please refer to the LWE Rules & Guidelines document.

Leadership Faith Statement

The Holy Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It contains His completed and final revelation to man. We do not endorse or encourage the use of any teaching that conflicts with what is contained in it. The Holy Bible in its original form is without error in its entirety. The Word of God has been and will remain the ultimate authority as we seek His wisdom in representing His group in a way that honors and magnifies the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Mission Statement

Living Water Home Educators is composed of homeschool families in Burlington County, NJ and surrounding areas who come together to support one another. Each family that homeschools is an independent, private school that has the freedom to install the beliefs and values that we, the parents, feel are most important to our children. Since this group is not affiliated with any one particular church, we feel it is important for you to know where the leadership of this group stands so that you can feel comfortable participating in the activities and events we offer.

Members should not make any assumptions about the teachings or content that may be provided at these activities and should exercise due diligence before deciding to participate.
