FAQ

When and where do you meet? - We are currently meeting at New Life Church in Princeton on the second Friday of the month, September through April, from 9:00am - 12:15pm.

How do classes work? -  We offer a nursery, a preschool room for 3 and 4 year olds, classes for 5-7 year olds, classes for 3rd-5th grades, and classes for 6th-12th grades. . The classes for 5-7 year olds are "set" classes, classes for 3rd-5th grades are "set" for two out of the three hours, with one hour have two classes to choose from.  Classes for 6th-12th grades have multiple class choices each hour.

How much does PriZim cost?- The cost of PriZim is $145.00 a year per family. This could vary from year to year depending on what classes are offered and the general co-op expenses. Please be aware that some classes may have an additional fee. The tuition price includes a $45 nonrefundable registration fee (per family not child) which is due at the time of registration. The remaining $100 is split in half, with $50.00 due at the beginning of each semester (Sept & Jan).

Who teaches the classes? - All PriZim classes are taught by moms, and sometimes dads, from our co-op. It is a cooperative effort. We are not a drop off co-op. All members are required to teach one class each semester. Each member will be a helper one hour in another class. The third hour you are encouraged to join the Mom's Room where you can visit with other homeschool moms.

Are you a Christian co-op? - Yes, we are a Christian co-op. See our Statement of Faith page.

Are there meetings? - There are three mandatory mom's meetings throughout the year. One at the beginning of each semester (August & January) and one at the end of the year (April). These meetings are held on a Tuesday evening at 6:30PM at the church.

What will be asked of me? - You will be asked to teach one class and be a helper in another class, sign up to help on 1-2 committees (field trips, special events, class planning, etc.), attend the mandatory mom's meetings, be on church clean-up twice a year following a co-op day, and attend every co-op class day.

When are my kids old enough to join? - The best time to join PriZim is when you have a child entering kindergarten or older.

Can I join just for the field trips? - Yes! For a fee of $25 you can join PriZim, have access to our private website, and to all of our planned field trips.

When is registration open? - We accept new members starting early May. PriZim can fill very quickly. Sometimes registration is only open for a few weeks, other years it's open all summer. If registration is closed, the best thing to do is to request membership, go through the interview process, and then be put on our waiting list. Those families on the waiting list are the first ones to be let in once registration opens.
