Our co-op exists to provide a warm and supportive learning environment for the homeschoolers of Bay and surrounding counties. Our heart and our vision is to see kids excited to learn, using material and curriculum that are fun and engaging, and for parents and children to find a community of other homeschoolers to support one another on this journey.
We meet for two classes on Mondays from 930-1130. Our classes are mostly hands on, with instruction being informal and project oriented. Meaning no grades from our teachers, just experiential learning fun. Some of our classes have included Mythbusters science, Animal Architects, World Explorers, Nature studies, Interactive math games, S.T.E.M. Challenge, Home Ec and Prep.
We take at least one Monday off a month for a park play/social hang out day together. It is usually the fourth Monday unless that month has a Monday holiday at which point we take that as our off day. We do this to prevent burnout and promote real relationships within the co-op as opposed to just being classmates or co-op acquaintances.
