homeschool co-op

Families teaching together

A homeschool co-op is a group of homeschooling families who pool resources and share teaching responsibilities.

Parents take turns instructing subjects according to their strengths—one teaches science, another art, another math.

Co-ops provide structure, socialization, and access to equipment or expertise that individual families might lack: The kids do chemistry labs through our homeschool co-op.
