Families must have at least one child who is at least six years old by December 31st of that academic year. Each family must have completed one year of homeschool prior to applying as well. Full participation is required. A parent must be able to remain on campus for the duration of the co-op day and work as a main teacher in at least one class and a class helper or floater in other classes.  Families are expected to miss no more than 2 planned absences per academic year.

The co-op meets at Zoar Baptist Church in Central, LA on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Our academic year begins in mid-August, and ends in late April or early May. We have 2 breaks in the fall, 2 breaks in the spring, and are off the entire month of December.

The tentative annual family fee is $200 + $10 per person.  Other costs include a class registration fee of $40 per family, books and supplies, activity costs (e.g., optional field trips), and supply fees for certain classes.  Financial costs are kept at a minimum because the real cost for every member is their commitment, time, and effort to make this co-operative organization run effectively.
