What classes do you offer? 

We strive to offer quality classes that align with NYS homeschool requirements while offering engaging and new opportunities for students. The classes we offer are based entirely on what members choose to teach. In the past we have offered spanish, art, farming, geography, math & coding along with a variety of science and history classes. 

 

When and where do you meet?

  We are located in Freeville, NY and meet on Thursdays from 9:30-1:30  We have two semesters both are 12 week sessions, each session offers 9 regular class days and 3 special event/field trip days. Our first session runs from mid September to mid December, our second session begins in the end of February and ends mid May. 

 

What ages or grades does Thrive accept? 

 While we love learners of all ages, our classes and activities are designed for children grades k -8th. 

 

Do you offer anything for younger siblings? 

Yes!  

We offer a Pre K  for 4 year olds, only available to younger siblings of enrolled students.

Nursery is available as often as possible for children 6 months to 3 years. Availability is based on parents' needs and available coverage. We work together to provide care for infants and younger children when parents are teaching or assisting. Often little ones prefer to stay near their parents. We do our best to offer flexibility and accommodate the needs of both parent and child with shared care of infants and toddlers. 

 

Do you offer drop off options? 

 Yes, We offer a limited number of drop off  openings for students 7 and up for an additional charge of $25.00 a day per student. Drop off options are only for regular class days,  we are not able to offer drop off  options during off site events. 

 

Do I have to teach? 

While teaching is not required it is strongly encouraged. We do require all members to take on a lead role in some capacity. This could be as a lead teacher or as a coordinator in areas such as nursery, Pre K, set up and cleaning, special events or field trips.  

We foster an atmosphere of togetherness and service, recognizing that our community thrives when we all contribute. Every family’s  involvement is essential to ensure our co-op functions smoothly and successfully. 

“Serve one another humbly in love” Galatians 5:13

 

What is expected from participating families? 

As a 100%  parent led co-op, Thrive depends on every family’s active participation.

Members are expected to: 

• Attend regularly  this maintains consistency and builds community 

• Communicate promptly with organizers to ensure smooth planning and respect everyone's time and efforts. 

• Foster community by helping teach, assist and share in the work, not leaving it for a few. One of our main goals is to model a spirit of service and community for our children, showing them the value of working together with love and respect.
