Q:

A:

A nonrefundable membership fee (currently $30 per family) is due each year in order to become a member of TEACH Co-op. This fee is used towards the administrative costs of the co-op such as insurance, website fees, and other supply costs.  

There is a per class deposit/registraion fee (between $5-10) which holds a child's spot in the class.  This fee is also non-refundable after July 30th.

Tuition for each class is listed on the Class Registration page when you click on each class title.  Tuition will be paid directly to each teacher and must be paid in full on the first day of class or may be split into two payments, to be paid the first day of each semester.

Each family is required to sign up to help clean the building at the end of the day two/three times per school year OR to serve on one of our various teams during the academic year. We stress 'family' because we believe it is important that our children learn to work alongside adults as part of their education and because we want to encourage everyone to play a role in the building and supporting of our co-op program.

We are not a drop-off co-op. Parents are required to remain in the building when their students are in class.  (High school students may attend classes without a parent present after appropriate paperwork is completed.)

Additionally, each family must agree to respect the Statement of Faith.  Families must sign a Liability Waiver and each family, along with every high school student must agree to and sign the Policies, Procedures, and Code of Conduct. 

Q:

A:

Those interested in joining the co-op should click "Join" on the main page and submit the interest form.  We'll schedule a visit/interview with each family while our co-op is in session.  The schedule for the upcoming school year should be available for viewing on the website by mid-March.  Current families will be given the opportunity to enroll in classes in early April.  Newly enrolled families will register in late April/early May.  

Q:

A:

Each class sets an age designation based on the material to be taught as well as to provide the children with a positive experience with their peers. Registration preference will be given to the designated age group. At times, a teacher will give permission for exceptions to the age designation listed. Please contact the teacher of the class in question for more information. 

Please note: While it is up to each instructor when/if to make exceptions to their stated age/grade guidelines, it is not to be expected.  Teachers choose grade levels thoughtfully and are the best judges of what is a good fit for their individual classrooms.
