How We Run our Homeschool Co-op:

Our homeschool co-op is only 3-years old, but it runs smoothly and has been a huge success. I think what made it great was that it started with a group of experienced homeschooling moms. There was great organization and a set of by-laws set up from the start. We have a board running it and keep the size of the group manageable- around 25 families. We also all have similar educational and faith philosophies so we work well together. When inviting in new members, we interview them then vote as a board on whether we feel they are a good fit for the group.  Learn more about it HERE.

The group has been incredible for our family and we feel so incredibly blessed to be a part of it! If you are searching for your own group to fit your family’s needs, you just need to take a leap and start it!  Anything is possible!

  1. Would you be willing to share your by laws and other statements that are foundational to your co-op? It would be so helpful! Thank you!

  2. Great list! Thank you! However, do these titles correspond to material (curriculum) that can help me flesh out “Let’s Have a Ball” for kindergarten, for instance? Or are these just a list of cute titles and I’d need to look to other resources to get more details (on a week by week basis)?
