What is Bulverde United?

 

 

Bulverde United Class Days

Bulverde United Class Days offers a wide range of academic opportunities for students in grades 6-12 for HCCH member families. We provide classes in both core subjects and electives. Students can take a single class or a full academic schedule. Students will receive grades, a report card, and an end of year transcript. Classes follow a university style format and meet only once or twice a week. Students complete lessons at home for the remainder of the week.

Our class schedule and course offerings remain dynamic with some courses rotating every other year to best reflect student interest and tutor availability. For the 2025–2026 school year, we will meet at Grace Fellowship Church on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Most classes meet one day per week, though a few meet on both days.

 

Our Christian Foundation

Bulverde United is a Christian organization rooted in the historical tenets of the Christian faith. While families are not required to sign our Statement of Faith to participate, all students and parents are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with it while participating with us. This includes but is not limited to: maintaining the gender designed by your Creator, as well as the name given to you by your parents, and the pronouns grammar requires of that gender/name; avoiding contrary messages on clothing/buttons/phone cases; not engaging in behavior and/or conversation promoting contrary doctrines or beliefs. 

Tutors are in agreement with our Statement of Faith and teach from a Biblical perspective in every subject. We ask families to carefully consider whether this is a good fit for their household.

 

Leadership & Community

Bulverde United is volunteer-led and overseen by the HCCH Board, with the BU Director serving as a member of the HCCH board. A volunteer Bulverde United Council organizes the class schedule, secures facilities, approves tutors, and coordinates events. Families are an essential part of this community, and each family is expected to contribute 18–30 volunteer hours during the school year. The exact number of hours is determined by dividing the need with the number of families enrolled.

 

Homeschool Partnership

BU is designed to complement, not replace, your homeschool. Parents remain the primary directors of their child’s education and are responsible for record-keeping and transcripts. Tutors provide instruction and grades, while assignments must be completed at home throughout the week. On average, high school students should expect at least one hour of daily study for each core class outside of BU class time.

Because of our size and resources, BU cannot accommodate significant academic, behavioral, or emotional needs. Students must be able to participate respectfully in class and complete their work independently. Families are encouraged to communicate any minor learning needs to tutors before enrollment. The acceptance of a student into a class remains at the sole discretion of each individual tutor.

 

Participation Requirements

Because of the structure of our days—where students enjoy both guided learning and free time in a trusted community, Bulverde United is only able to accommodate students ages 11 and older. Students must turn 11, by September 1 of the current school year. There is no exception to this requirement.

Per Texas law, parents must withdraw their student from public/private school in writing. For more information on homeschooling in Texas, consult Texas Home School Coalition (THSC).
