Except for history and high school sciences, which follow a certain rotation, classes are planned by surveying the families involved to determine their needs. Classes with the highest interest levels and those with volunteers to teach are more likely to be scheduled, taking into account the available classrooms. As a result, each semester is usually a bit different from previous semesters.

We are always open to new ideas for classes. Do you have a degree in a certain subject? What's your hobby? Do you fondly remember a high school or college class and would like to duplicate it for fellow homeschoolers? Perhaps your high schooler needs a certain course for credit, or maybe your child is interested in something in particular that would be fun to learn with a group. We'd love to hear your suggestions!

On the other hand, perhaps your mind draws a blank, and you just need a few ideas to get you started thinking! You may have skills you never thought would adapt to a co-op class. The following ideas may help you.

Please note:
Those with asterisks* have been taught at our co-op before (or are being offered now) and would make good classes again. Others are either requested classes or subjects successfully taught at other co-ops.
