Q:

A:

We are a traditional homeschool co-op where all classes are parent-taught. With the rich pool of talent found among homeschooling parents, enrichment classes around the country have achieved great success. At least one parent per family must be present during the time their child(ren) are attending classes. The key ingredient is cooperation! Everyone will be busy for all or part of a five period day. We require a minimum attendance of at least three hours per day!

A:

All homeschooling families who want a cooperative learning environment to supplement their own schools. Since 1993 we have offered Enrichment Classes in the Mid-Cities area. Benefits include very low cost, a diversity of classes, quality & effective teaching, academic accountability, fellowship and a lot of fun!

Members need a student in kindergarten or older to attend. Younger siblings are welcome in the nursery.

Depending on the class, the fee ranges from approximately $2-$75 per student per class.
