Our Co-op Structure
Are you a drop-off group?
Unfortunately, no.
However this is intentional. We truly desire to form a strong community amongst our families. One major way this is possible is for everyone to experience our co-op days, together!
Can we opt-out of a class?
No, because our goal is enrichment & exposure!
Currently, every group is offered three classes for every 5-week session (dependent upon interest and parent availability). Our goal is to offer a wide selection of classes so our kids will gain exposure to a broad variety of subjects. We shoot for enrichment through feeding our children’s love for learning!

Who are your teachers?
You are!
That is, every parent who registers their child will be called upon to fill in the gap in some way. Veteran and returning ATHC parents will be lead teachers, while others may be classroom helpers, and/or hall monitors and everything in between to ensure a smooth flow for our group. This is what puts the “Collective” into our name!
What is the cost and what does it cover?
There is a registration fee and tuition.
Currently, there is a $50 registration fee for the entire school year to secure your family’s spot. Our tuition is $250/semester/family. This pays for your child’s classes, one parent or guardian’s background clearance, facility fees, supplies, and other miscellaneous expenses for our group. Payment installments are available upon request.
Can I come for a visit even if we don’t join?
Absolutely!
You have the option to come for a one day site visit during our co-op year to see our group in action! You would need to schedule this in advance. Do to safety protocols, we do not accept walk-in site visits. We’d love to show off how amazing our group is, so if you’d like to schedule a site visit, please email abletoteachhomeschool@gmail.com, today!
