WHAT ARE CO-OP CLASSES?

Co-op is short for Cooperative Classes. Each semester, FAITH members spend one afternoon each week in these wonderful, enriching courses. Co-op is a combined effort of homeschooling families to use each others' strengths to teach our children. Classes are taught by parents, and in some cases, family members of FAITH students.

Classes are available for children from preschool to high school in a variety of subjects: history, science, arts, life skills, and a good dose of fun stuff. Moms who are volu during classes may leave their babies in the Nursery. A Moms' Room is also open, so everyone has a chance to socialize during their free time.

Co-op culminates with Presentation Night, a showcase for the students to exhibit all they have learned. Many classes present a skit or song for the parents, while others create displays to be browsed during the fellowship time afterwards. This is always a highlight of the school year for our students.
