A Little About Cornerstone Cooperative...

Cornerstone is a family-oriented, Christian homeschool co-op committed to learning and growing together with like-minded believers who are dedicated to God’s Word and supporting each other in both education and life. We seek to partner with families who are interested in gathering together to support one other’s unique homeschool calling, and to build community as we follow God's will. 

Our community strives to  encourage life-long learning, build up Godly character, and create lasting friendships through the wisdom of the Lord. In addition, Cornerstone Cooperative provides educational, social, and extracurricular activities, field trips, support, and enrichment for our Membership. We believe that God has called us to be a community of families living out a vibrant faith that blesses our world through serving and loving one another.

Cornerstone Co-op is a private, board-run, membership only homeschool group that offers academic and extracurricular classes for Kindergarten – High School grades (with nursery and preschool opportunities for the younger siblings of our enrolled students). While co-op is not a replacement for the parent as the teacher at home, we do offer classes that enhance or supplement what is being studied at home. Each semester, we offer an array of fun and educational classes utlizing parents' God-given passions, talents and abilities.

We are parent-led and do not have any drop-off options. As such, each and every parent has an important role and is vital to making each co-op day run smoothly. We require all parents commit to 3 hours of service as either a teacher, assistant, hall monitor, nursery worker, etc.  We also have opportunities to give the morning devotional and for teens to serve on the worship team during chapel.  

Our families come from all over the greater Knoxville area to meet for co-op classes on Mondays in Seymour - with some driving upwards of an hour to be together.  It's just that speical!

If you are interested in joining our homeschool community, please follow the steps for admissions.
