FAQs
Why was LIVING WATERS CO-OP started?
No one should homeschool alone!
The LIVING WATERS CO-OP has been formed to provide connections and community to families who’ve been waitlisted or simply searching for a like-minded, faith-based community. Living Waters has been created by families who’ve experienced the value of a strong, supportive, and well-organized community, and want to share that with others so more families can thrive!
The LIVING WATERS CO-OP promises fresh energy, flexible leadership, and open collaboration. Whether you’re just exploring homeschooling or looking for a stronger support network, we’d love to meet you. Join us, and be part of something inspiring from the very beginning. Let’s build this together.

What is required of parents?
General: To keep costs low, we ask that parents volunteer to support at least one event during the year. We also understand that some families may need an alternative option, which is why we offer an opt-out fee if needed.
Co-Op Classes: Parents must be on site while their students are in class, and all of our parents volunteer in at least one classroom. Being a teacher or co-teacher is optional.
If I enroll as a member, do I have to participate in co-op classes?
No. We know that homeschool families need choices. Your $100 gets you acess to all things LIVING WATERS CO-OP. From there, you get to choose whatever fits your family. Some families only do dances, or graduation, or field trips.
