Eugene Christian Homeschool Co-op is back for another year!

LIGHT has partnered with Garden Way Church to fill the co-op needs of local homeschoolers by starting a new ministry called Eugene Christian Homeschool Co-op, formerly known as Eugene First Class.  LIGHT's vision is to provide support, encouragement, resources and new friendships. This is achieved through affordable classes taught by homeschooling parents just like you!


All classes will take place on Friday mornings at the same location, Garden Way Church, 231 North Garden Way - Eugene, OR 97401.  No multi-day day commitments and no driving all over town for various classes!  And the best part, all children from birth on up can participate.  


Eugene Christian Homeschool Co-op (ECHC) is split up into two terms, a fall term and spring term.  Each term will last approximately 8-10 weeks.  Classes take place on Friday mornings from 8:45am to 1:00pm (see time schedule below).  Each Friday will start out with chapel time, then there will be three class periods during which everyone in the family will participate.  Parents are not required to teach (although they are greatly encouraged!) but will need to sign up for 2 co-op responsibilities, be that teaching, accepting support roles for the co-op, or a combination of the two.  Parents are also required to work in some capacity during 2 of the 3 class times.  All families will stay after co-op is done  to clean up the building, except those who sign up for set-up duty.



The schedule on each Friday will be:

Setup            8:20am-8:45am
Check-In       8:45am - 8:55am
Chapel         8:55am - 9:25am
Block A         9:30am - 10:25am
Block B         10:30am - 11:25am
Lunch            11:30am-11:50am
Block C         11:55am-12:55pm  (Block C has extra minutes to allow students to put the classroom back to it's original setup before exiting the classroom.)
Clean-Up       1:00pm-1:30pm


A list of classes is coming soon.  Registration for Fall 2012 is September 24th starting at 10:00am at Garden Way Church.  Classes will start October 5th and run through December 7th with the Friday of Thanksgiving week taken off.


Fees for this coop are as follows: 
$12 per family per term.  Each class has a $2 class fee plus materials fees if any apply.  Occasionally, classes may have a required text
