About
We are a group of Christian families who have two primary goals.
1 - To offer enrichment opportunities to the homeschooling community via bi-monthly co-op classes.
2 - To support and encourage each other as parents/caretakers while offering our children the opportunity to participate in age appropriate activities.
CMCH is comprised of approximately 45-50 families from all over the Central Massachusetts area, including: Worcester, Hudson, Marlboro, Maynard, Northboro, Upton, Lancaster . . . We currently have over 60 teenagers participating.
Each parent is involved in teaching and supporting one class hour while the second hour is dedicated to relaxing and being around like-minded women. We offer a wide variety of classes with the main goal being enrichment and social interaction for the children. Class descriptions change each year depending on the teachers, their passions, and interests as well as the needs of our students in the upper grades.
A typical Friday at Co-op runs like this:
- 8:50 – 9:00 – Arrive at the church
- 9:00 – 9:15 – Welcome, announcements, and prayer
- 9:15 – 10:15 – First hour classes
- 10:15 – 10:40 – Break and snack time
- 10:40 – 11:40 – Second hour classes
- 11:40 – Clean up and leave the church
Children are grouped by grade level, based on birth date (Date cutoff is firm at August 31).
When it comes to teaching, we can help you with that if needed. Do you have a special skill that you would like to share? We’d love to have you join and share your knowledge. Don’t feel like you have anything “special” to share? Don’t worry – we know you do and we’ll even help you figure it out, if you’d like.
This is a representative sample of classes offered through our co-op. Actual schedules change from year to year, based on the talents, abilities, and interest of our parent-educators.
