Academics Together
Students flourish under the guidance of caring tutors, supportive parents, and a Christ-centered curriculum.
Student Responsibility
Students complete reading, projects, experiments, and written exercises on non-co-op days, coming prepared to build upon their lessons during co-op days.
Tutors Responsibility
Tutors lead in-class learning, assign home instruction, and partner closely with parents to support student growth.
Parent Responsibility
Parents oversee learning on non-co-op days, assist with assignments, and ensure a holistic experience that aligns with family and co-op faith values.
