To attend co-op you must be a community member.  ALL Community Members will have first picks for classes in the co-op.

A homeschool cooperative program (co-op) is an educational community of homeschooling families who gather together at allotted times for classes, community, and enrichment activities.  The goal is to build a community and lifelong friendships!

Parent-Led co-op is run by parents who teach classes, volunteer in leadership positions, and help with all aspects of running the community. Co-ops are a great opportunity for families to socialize and support one another as well as for students to learn and grow in community. Parents retain full responsibility for the education of their children and must fulfill state requirements for home education.

Family Homeschool Alliance, Inc.'s (FHA) co-op is designed to offer an affordable opportunity for families to join together and share talents and resources to assist and support one another in achieving mutual educational and enrichment goals by facilitating a once per week co-op. FHA’s leadership includes families from several Christian denominations and a variety of local churches.  Although we desire the salvation of all, we are not an evangelistic ministry and while classes can be taught from a Christian worldview, we leave specific doctrinal training to parents and churches. All homeschool families, from all backgrounds, are encouraged and welcome to join our community.  No statement of faith is required to join.

FHA’s co-op consists of a 34 week school year which is split into six units (3 units per semester) beginning in mid-August through the end of May. We enjoy taking periodic breaks every 5-6 weeks or so, including a 2 week break around Christmas. We serve Kindergarten through 12th grades and also provide preschool and nursery options for younger siblings.

Co-op families come together once a week to participate in regular classes, lunch, and other optional activities such as after school clubs. 

FHA operates as a true parent led co-op where our parents are our teachers. All parents are encouraged to teach a class, but if teaching is not your gift, there are plenty of other volunteer options.  A parent is required to be on campus the entire time your student(s) are present and are required to fill a specific number of volunteer hours.  Students will typically attend 3 classes between 9:00 am and noon and an optional fellowship lunch hour from noon-1pm. From 1-3pm there will be optional clubs available.  

As a co-op member, you will also have access to our community membership benefits.  These are fun activities outside of the normal class day for students including, but not limited to, holiday parties, field days, field trips, birthday celebrations, and more! 

In addition to student care, FHA desires to provide opportunities for parents to be supported and uplifted.

When a mom (or dad) is not serving during the co-op day, she/he is invited to relax in our "Parent Lounge" to fellowship and develop friendships with other like-minded parents. Outside of the co-op day, FHA will offer occasional round table discussions and facilitate other adult only events.

Q:

A:

The Tutor-Led Hybrid Program meets twice a week for 4th-12th grades, one day virtually and one day in person. Our Kindergarten - 3rd grades meet once a week in person. The program is a drop-off program for students to enjoy classes with friends and tutors who teach, keep grades, and send home the work to do they days they aren't in class. The school year starts in Aug and ends in May with break every 5-6 weeks.

Parents are always welcome to volunteer in a classroom, the cleaning crew, planning events etc. Parent are also encouraged to be on our substitute list for when the need arises. We also encourage parents to come to our Parent Round tables!
