Open Minds Homeschool Inclusive Co-op

We are an Inclusive Co-op,which means all belief systems and lack thereof, political affiliations, and backgrounds are welcome and respected. We are lgbtqia friendly. We have a broad range of beliefs, and that is what makes us strong as a group. Our goal is for everyone to feel safe with a place to connect socially and learn together. 

Parents or a designated adult are required to stay and help at the Co-op during meeting days. You do this by helping in a class, or teaching or co-teaching. You must complete one full semester before you can teach a class. 

We meet once a week on Wednesdays for three hours. Students take three classes-one each hour-for twelve weeks each semester. Semesters begin in late August/early September, and Late January/early February each year. Interest meetings to learn more about our Co-op take place around April for the Fall semester, and around November for the Spring semester. Dates for those meetings will be posted here, and on our public Facebook page.
