Thank you for visiting Young Explorers Homeschool Co-op!  We are so happy that you are here, however we are sorry to report that we are fully for the 2024-2025 school year.   You are welcome to fill out the registration form on this website (JOIN tab) and that will add you to our waitlist. 

Young Explorers is a non-profit, community of Christian homeschool families in Coles County, Illinois.  We meet once a week to give our children both educational and social experiences, as well as field trip, community service projects, and school party opportunities.  

Young Explorers currently serves Kindergarten through 5th grade.  Older grades are offered for students who have been with our co-op and graduated out of the elementary grades, however at this time we don't have those grades open to everyone. 

We offer a wide range of academic as well as elective classes including P.E., art, and music.  All classes are taught by the parents and volunteers from the community.  Each week, students bring their lunches and enjoy lunch together in our lunchroom, followed by recess either on the playground or in the gymnasium.  

Young Explorers families pay an annul membership fee per family.  Each class that your child(ren) participate in, has a class fee to cover the cost of supplies.  This fee varies from class to class and semester to semester.  

If you are currently looking for a homeschool co-op and would like more information, please feel free to contact us.  Take a look around our website, read through our handbook and policies, and if you feel that we would be a great fit for your family, please click on JOIN button, on this page to fill out our membership application.
