FAQs



Q:

Is Crown Homeschool Community a school?

A:

No. Crown is a private Christian support group designed to provide support and enrichment for home educating families. Whether you are with a charter, a psp, or file a private affidavit, Crown is for everyone that chooses to home educate!

Q:

Is this a religious organization?

A:

We are a collection of families from a variety of denominations. We have a Statement of Faith that members are required to sign in agreement to.  Our purpose is to support each other in our homeschool endeavors while encouraging each other freely with the Word of God. You will find an environment of faith and a Christian worldview in all our co-op classes and activities.

Q:

How do I apply for membership to Crown Homeschool Community?

A:

Click the "Join" button at the top of the Homepage and fill out a membership application. You will receive an email confirming receipt of your application.  Membership approval can take a few days, so if you want to register for classes, do not wait until the night before to apply for membership.

Q:

What are the minimum requirements to participate in the Co-op?

A:

You must join Crown Homeschool Community by completing the membership profile and paying the membership fee. You will also need to pay Wednesday Co-op fees or the fees for High School class days. You must have a Kindergarten or older student who is participating in classes, remain on campus (for Wednesdays), complete your Signup Genius service jobs, and fulfill your classroom/parent assignments. 

 

Q:

How much does it cost to join Crown Homeschool Community, Co-op, and/or High School?

A:

We are happy to announce that Membership in Crown for the new school year is only $100 for the entire family, for the year. This fee covers the insurance, website, and other costs to help make Crown the best homeschool ministry support group for your family. 

Wednesday Co-op is optional with your Crown membership.  Co-op has a separate fee of $130 for the entire family, for the year. This fee covers our rent and other minor costs to run co-op as well as events and activities throughout the year. Financial costs are kept at a minimum because the real cost for every member is their commitment, time, and effort to make this cooperative organization run effectively.

Example: Membership + Wednesday Co-op = $230/family/year

Crown High School is optional with your Crown membership. High School Co-op has a separate fee of $100 each day, per student, for the year. If you choose to attend both High School days (Monday and Tuesday) there is a discount and the fee will be $175 each day, per student, for the year. This fee covers our rent and other minor costs to run co-op as well as events and activities throughout the year.

Crown Homeschool Community will have dedicated high school (drop off) classes on Mondays and Tuesdays beginning fall of 2024. High school will still be a co-op and parents will need to help with some on-campus duties. The school year will begin August 26th and end May 12th. We will have a variety of classes on Mondays and Tuesdays and you are welcome to join one or both days. **If you are a charter school family, charter funds cannot be used to cover fees as we are a Christian organization.** Vendors will accept monthly payments.

The following activities are planned for next year: Meet and greet, monthly high school hangouts, family bunco night, city-wide scavenger hunt, movie nights, as well as access to all Crown member events. We are also planning a college or career fair in the spring.

There may be other optional events that have costs associated with them like field trips, social events, dances, etc. 

**Everyone must be a current member of Crown Homeschool Community to participate in Co-op and High School**  

 

Q:

Can I join Crown if I'm with a charter school or a private homeschool group?

A:

Yes! Crown is not a school.  Anyone that homeschools can join, whether you are with a charter school, a psp, or you file your own affidavit.  Even though charter families can join co-op, families cannot use charter funds to pay for classes at Crown. We are a support group that offers all kinds of co-op classes, field trips, moms night out, tween & teen events, and so much more!  This is the place to get connected and join a community of loving and supportive families while you navigate through your homeschool journey. Many solid friendships are formed for both students and parents!

Q:

When and where does Co-op meet?

A:

Co-op meets between 9:15am - 1:55pm

We meet at Calvary Chapel of the Canyons - 8002 Silverado Canyon Rd, Silverado, CA. 92676

 

Q:

Can I drop off my children for classes?

A:

Wednesday Co-op is NOT a drop-off program. A parent must stay on campus and teach or help in classes that they are assigned to. Being a part of a co-operative organization means everyone pulls their own weight to maintain a successful program.

Crown High School IS a drop-off program. We are still a co-op, so parents will still need to be involved in running the co-op and all activities.

 

Q:

Can I enroll students that are not my children in the case that I am homeschooling or babysitting children from other families?

A:

No. Parents (or guardians or homeschooling grandparents) only are allowed to enroll their own children for co-op.

Q:

Does the co-op have classes for children who are not of school age yet?

A:

Yes. We have a nursery and a preschool. Our nursery and preschool classes are for the siblings of children that are in classes at Crown and are Kindergarten age or older. 

Q:

How many members does Crown have?

A:

This number fluctuates, however, on average we have approximately 90 families as members of Crown Homeschool Community. 

 

Q:

What kinds of classes does Crown offer? 

A:

Crown offers a wide variety of educational and enrichment classes, from history, science, math, English, and foreign languages to art, music, drama, dance, cooking... and much more.  Please see our curent list of classes on our homepage. 

Q:

Do I have to take classes all day?

A:

You may choose to take one class, or two classes, or stay all day.  You attend and participate in the classes that fit your schedule and needs. 

On Wednesday Co-op, parents teach and help out in classes while their children are in class. If you are there most of the day, you will usually get a little time off to grab some coffee and snacks and socialize with other parents. We also have a dedicated lunch hour for you to connect with other parents and for your kids to fellowship with the other kids.

For Crown High School, you may take as many classes on campus as you like to fit your educational needs.

Q:

What are some ways that Crown Homeschool Community promotes unity and cooperation among the students?

A:

We have park days and family days, field trips, tween and teen events, service projects, and mom's night out.  

We have a dedicated lunch hour and prayer/announcements during co-op, as well as fun days throughout the year like our family Hoedown dance, PJs and Pancakes Day, and our annual Open House.
