About

 

MACH is a 26 week, academic Christian co-op, striving to support each other in the home-education of our children, by providing classes for Nursery through 12th grade. We meet on Tuesdays at East Fairview Church of the Brethren (1187 Fairview Road, Manheim)  from 8:30 am to 12 pm for our academic portion and following lunch we offer a variety of afternoon elective classes until 3:00 PM.  MACH requires moms or dads to teach and/or help in classes, and be present during all class hours. 

 

 

 

CLASSES - Classes for students grades K-6 include gym, science, and history.  Grades 7-12 have classes in science, history, and English. Optional subjects include Spanish 1 and 2, Biblical Worldview, and various sports and clubs.  See the class schedule for updated classes for the current year.  

Parents mostly teach our morning classes within the group. Paid teachers will be sought as needed to teach classes.  First-year parents are expected to be helpers in 3 morning classes, but may also be asked to teach a class. After the first year in the group, a parent needs to teach a class of their choosing.  The leadership team will help teachers set up classes, and answer any questions about planning and curriculum. 

Afternoon classes are sometimes taught by teachers who are not in the group. Parents are expected to help in these classes a certain number of times.  Classes provide weekly instruction for the students in these subjects. The teachers then assign homework to be completed before the next class meets.  By completing classes, middle and high school students will fulfill the credit or half-credit requirements for the class.  A grade of points out of points possible is given for each class in grades 7-12.
