Introduction
Our co-op offers a unique blend of the best features of homeschooling and traditional schooling. We provide students with a structured environment that fosters holistic development. Our classes encompass a wide range of classes, ensuring students have diverse learning opportunities. Interactions with teachers are positive and inspiring, promoting a supportive learning atmosphere. Group work encourages collaboration and teamwork. Additionally, we create a faith-based environment that aligns with our Catholic values. Social opportunities allow students to interact with peers and build relationships. Furthermore, we recognize the primary educators of their children are parents, and we strive to maintain flexibility and mutual respect with them.

We have a space dedicated for parents and for children ages newborn - 2 years. If a parent teacher or assistant teacher is in need of care, they can leave their babies with a dedicated babysitter (another parent or volunteer) while they teach or assist in a classroom.
Please note: This service is not for drop-off use. It is only to be utilized when leading, teaching, or assisting in another class. This room is available for your use, with or without your child, when you are not volunteering.
We hope to offer classes for each of the groups / age ranges each semester, for every hour of the co-op, but it varies depending on available volunteers to teach. Please contact us about current classes before paying any fees. Email:
