What Types of Classes are Offered at Co-op?
Classes are offered on a wide range of topics, often extra-curricular in nature, sometimes taking advantage of a group setting, and are not intended to replace or supplant the academic track that families have in place. Each semester’s classes are determined by what participating families choose to offer.
Here are the classes offered during the 2026 Spring semester (classes are still being planned and are subject to change):
Co-Op Classes (9:45am, Thursdays):
Nursery
Our youngest friends will enjoy a safe, nurturing space filled with simple songs, stories, and playtime activities.
Pre-K/K - Days of Creation / Bible Heroes
Little ones will explore God’s amazing world through the Days of Creation and learn about brave Bible heroes. Through hands-on crafts, stories, and songs, children will have fun discovering God’s world — and by the end of the semester, they’ll be able to confidently recall the Days of Creation.
1st-3rd Grade - Arts and Crafts Around the World
Students will “travel” to different countries through art and crafts, making colorful projects inspired by cultures around the world. Along the way, they’ll learn fun facts and develop creativity while celebrating the beauty of diversity.
3rd - 5th Grade - The Magic of Electricity and Aerospace/Rockets
Students will explore electricity and flight through hands-on experiments and projects. From learning how circuits work to discovering the principles of rocketry, this class combines STEM learning with a sense of wonder and imagination.
Note: Last time we offered the 4-H classes, it filled quickly. While we don’t expect that to happen this semester however early registration is encouraged to help secure a spot.
Middle School and Up - Urban Survival
This class focuses on practical survival skills for urban and outdoor settings. Students will practice basic first aid, navigation, situational awareness, and teamwork — learning to stay safe, confident, and resourceful. It’s a fun, hands-on way to build life skills that will last beyond Co-op.
