Rooted Oaks Co-op operates under the greater umbrella of the Home For His Glory (HFHG) organization.

HFHG is a long-standing ministry to the Kentuckiana homeschool community. As a member of HFHG, you can participate in the various co-op programs they offer (including Rooted Oaks), as well as other special events throughout the year that HFHG runs.

HFHG's goal is to provide valuable resources for the homeschool community and bring the community closer together through the opportunities and events they offer.

Q:

A:

Evening classes allow our families to continue to enjoy their regular learning and family life during the day without interruption. It also works with our teen students' natural rhythms as they start to enjoy staying up later and sleeping in. When we polled interested families for our co-op, the majority of families desired an evening option.

Q:

A:

Yes! We will be offering opportunities for students to fundraise money that will be applied to their spring class registration fees. We will share more about these opportunities at Orientation.

Q:

A:

As a new co-op, we didn't want to add too many class blocks too quickly. We hope to grow and add more options in the future. 

Q:

A:

Yes, there is a 30-minute break in between the 2 class blocks. Students will go to The Grove for fellowship with other students, grab something to eat, and prepare to transition into the next class. Students have access to a kitchen for storing food in the fridge or utilizing the microwave. When the weather permits, students have the option to enjoy more physical activities or fresh air in the back field. The break time is supervised.

Q:

A:

All adults who are in direct contact with students will be required to have a background check on file. The forms will be completed at Open House or Orientation. Additionally, we require at least 2 adults to be present with students at all times. All other safety and emergency protocols will be reviewed at Orientation.

Q:

A:

Students can begin arriving at 5:10 pm and gather in The Grove. Their first class is from 5:30 pm to 6:45 pm, followed by a 30-minute break, and then their second class block is from 7:15 pm to 8:30 pm. We will work together to clean the church, and then dismissal starts at 8:45 pm. All students are required to be picked up by 9:00 pm.

Q:

A:

We are open to having classes by semester in the future. However, as a new co-op, the Lord brought us teachers who were willing to teach classes for a full year. This simplifies the process for us this first year, but we hope to have additional options for families in the future.
