What is Homeschool Co-Op?
A weekly opportunity for homeschooling families to come together to educate their children and gain support on their homeschooling journey. The co-op is taught from a Christian worldview but peoples of all faiths may attend. Our class offerings are dependent on teacher availability / interest. We have multiple class offerings for each grade per hour. Some classes are year-long while others only last a semester (10 weeks)

Mission Statement
It is our mission to serve Christ by encouraging and empowering homeschool families
to have confidence to teach their own children at home
and as an opportunity to homeschool parents to network with others for support;
to provide quality, educational enrichment and academic courses that enable our children to maximize their God-given talents and potential;
and to provide a positive and safe learning environment where children can learn academics, responsibility, accountability, and appropriate social skills in a Christian context.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:23-24

What do parents do during co-op?
Since our co-op is run by parent volunteers, we require parents to help or teach for 2 class periods during a co-op morning. They will also have one class period to enjoy fellowship with other parents. If you prefer to drop your K-12th graders off that may be an option for an additional fee.
