Weekly Co-op
Our weekly co-op meets on Thursday mornings at St. Francis of Assisi in Castle Rock. For the 2018-2019 Academic year we will offer classes for Pre-K through 3rd Grade Students. Families are asked to commit to volunteer responsibilities as well as contribute financially (more details below). All adults attending the weekly co-op must be current with required diocesan Safe Environment Training. 
2018-2019 Academic Calendar

Pre-K
Children aged 3 years or older by October 1st  are eligible to join our Pre-K class. This class focuses on Letter of the Week, songs, and stories. In addition, students will spend about half of the morning exploring in Learning Centers and getting outside.

Kindergarten through 3rd Grade
Students who are 5 years old by October 1st are eligible to join the Kindergarten class. However, if the Pre-K class would be a better fit for a five year old that is also an option. Our academic year is divided into four quarters. Each quarter, we will offer two different electives to the K-3 students.

Volunteer and Financial Commitment
Each family/parent must take on a share of ​classroom ​and ​financial​ responsibility. Full-time volunteers are assigned a job for each of the four quarters (24 weeks). These jobs will likely vary each quarter and include only one teaching/planning intensive quarter. Part-time volunteers are assigned a job for two** of the four quarters (12 weeks). There is a $50 supply fee per family. This fee is nonrefundable after the first class day.  ​Part-time volunteers will also pay a $200 tuition fee to help offset costs.
 
**Note: if you would like to join the co-op as a part-time volunteer but are unable to commit to teaching responsibilities for health or other reasons, please contact us to discuss other options.

Homeschool Community
We also provide opportunities for homeschool families to connect during the year outside of the weekly co-op. These activities are open to all families. We have field trips, student presentation days, and Mom’s Night Out events planned for 2018-2019. This is a great option for families who are not able to make the weekly commitment of the co-op. Please contact us to learn more.
