What We Have to Offer

Classes - All classes are parent taught. This helps to keep our cost down. Our classes are 2/3 fun elective type classes and 1/3 academic. Classes meet from September - May at New Life Church in Princeton, MN from 9:15a.m. - 12:15p.m. on the 2nd Friday of the month. We offer a nursery for birth - 2 years old, a preschool room for 3 and 4 year olds, classes for 5-6 year olds, as well as 7-8 year olds. The classes for 5-6 year olds and 7-8 year olds are "set" classes. The classes for 3rd - 12th grades are "elective" style classes with multiple class choices for two of the three hours.

Field Trips - Field trips are typically one time a month and are coordinated by our field trip committee. Some are local, while others are within 1-2 hours away. We try to offer a variety of trips that are free as well as some with great discounts.

Mom's Meetings - There are three mandatory mom's meetings throughout the year on a Tuesday evening at 7PM at the church. One at the beginning of each semeseter (August and Januray) and one at the end of the year (April). These meetings equip you for class days and our special events. They are also a wonderful opportunity to encourage each other with devotions, prayer, fellowship, and food.  We try to stay on task and cover our business portion of the meeting as quickly as possible so we have lots of time to visit. Mom's meetings are highly recommended as this is where we can get to know each other and encourgae one another on this journey of homeschooling.

Mom's Night Out - A couple of times a year we will have a mom's night out. This is usually held at a restaurant. This is a great opportunity to socialze with other moms from the group and to have some fun!

Website/Facebook - We have a wonderful website that is our main form of communication ouside of co-op days and mom's meetings. It is loaded with all kinds of information such as a directory with contact information for each member, class lists, a forum to communicate to the faimilies in your co-op classes, calendar with field trip information, etc. We primarily use the website for business and events that are happening within our co-op. Our website address is www.prizimhomeschool.com. We also have a private facebook page for social questions, connections, selling things, and encouraging comments. This helps to minimize the emails on the website forum.

Performing Arts, History Fair, Art Fair, and Science Fair - We are on a 4 year rotation of Performing Arts, History Fair, Art Fair, and a Science Fair which are all an end of the year event. We encourage you invite your friends and family to this event. The 2021-2022 year will be Performing Arts night which is a variety or talent show.

Track & Field Day - This is a traditonal track and field day with ribbon awards that is held in the spring. Events will vary from year to year.

Valentine's Card Exchange - In February we offer to our kids the opportunity to exchange Valentine's cards (treats optional). Kids have fun decorating a box or some will provide a bag to collect them in.

Mom's Retreat - The mom's retreat is an overnight retreat usually held in February or March for moms to get away and fellowship. This is a great time to get to know other moms in the co-op. There's always great food, fun games, lots of laughter, and prayer when needed. It's tons of fun so don't miss out!
