Co-op Membership Info

MCH Co-op is a sub-group of Mandarin Christian Homeschoolers.  Our co-op is limited to 200 children and generally caps at about 80 families.  We have children of all ages, from babies to high schoolers. Co-op meets on Friday mornings for 12 weeks in the spring and 12 weeks in the fall for 2 hours of classes each week.  Classes are mostly elective in nature and parent-taught.  Parents must either teach or assist in the classroom for one of our two hours of programming.

Our classes are grouped into 5 categories (Nursery/preschool, primary (k-2) elementary (3rd-5th),  middle, and high school), with each category (except preschool) offering 2-5 different class choices each hour.  The classes we offer vary from year to year and depend entirely on what parents want to teach.

The cost for joining the co-op is $135.00 per family, most of which is given to the church where we meet as a facilities fee.  The remaining amount covers website and administrative costs. There is also a fee for most classes.  The fee, per class, can range from $10 to $50 or more depending on the class.  

We often have an open house in the spring toward the end of our co-op year.  Applications for MCH co-op are accepted during a short two-week window in the spring. We generally have more applicants than we can accommodate.  Co-op only accepts applicants from families current and active in our general membership. General membership for one year is preferred before applying for co-op. General membership includes full website access and offers general members a chance to get to know MCH through field trips, park days, and other social events.  If you are interested in co-op, joining the general membership is the first step. 

We are no longer accepting co-op applications for the 24/25 school year. We accept applications for our General Membership year-round.  Please email Info@mchjax for more information.  Keep checking this page for changes and more information.
