Program Details

Weekly K-8th Grade Enrichment and Pre-K story times & activities

Activities throughout the year to nurture community and provide fellowship and support among homeschooling families in Douglas County

Fall 2022
Our weekly co-op meets on Thursdays from 9:30 am - 1:00 pm at St. Francis of Assisi in Castle Rock.
For the 2022-2023 Academic Year we will offer enrichment classes for Elementary & Middle School Students and a mommy-and-me style Pre-K program. 


Enrichment Classes
This Fall we are offering an 8-week semester of elective-style classes including:
Art (for K-2nd, 3rd-5th and 6th-8th)
Science (1st-2nd, 3rd-5th and 6th-8th)
Bible Study (3rd-5th and 6th-8th)
Kindergarten-only Five in a Row-style class (1 hour)
PE class (K-2nd)
Passionate, Catholic teachers will lead the classes. Classes are a la carte and cost $40 per semester per student. There is also a $10 enrollment fee per family. We charge tuition to pay our teachers but this means less volunteering for parents (and more time for fellowship). 
See Schedule and Class Descriptions

Preschool
Preschoolers can participate in story time and activities, free for any families with older children enrolled in classes. (If you do NOT have elementary-age children, but have a 3-, 4-, or young 5-year old who would like to participate in Pre-K activities, please contact us regarding a pre-K-only option.)

Parent Commitment
Our co-op is not a drop-off program, and we will to take turns being the second adult helpers to the teachers in the classrooms. However, each mom will not be needed every week. We just ask that moms stay on the St. Francis campus; moms are welcome to spend time in prayer in the sanctuary and/or utilize extra space for homeschool planning. In order to follow Diocesan policy, all adult participants - teachers and moms - are required to have Safe Environment Training. This is an online "module" that can be completed at home when convenient. 
Read more about our policies in the Family Handbook.

Calendar
Our fall semester runs September into November; Spring Semester March-May. Between semesters we will have a long Christmas break, followed by our "Learning Lunch" series: educational demonstrations followed by lunch & fellowship.

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. In the past we have offered field trips, student presentation days, and Mom’s Night Out events. 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.
