PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Overview
We meet at Southern Calvert Baptist Church in Lusby, MD on Tuesdays from September to May. We are a volunteer-based group. We are not a drop off co-op and adults must participate each week.
​
We offer a variety of classes for students in K-12 grade.
​
Our classes consist of core classes and electives.
​
Classes offered depend upon the interests and skill sets of participating parents as we are a parent-led co-op. Because of this, our registration fees can stay at a reasonable price.
​
We also have Nursery, Toddler, & Pre-K classes that will remain in their rooms for the length of co-op time.
​
Meeting dates are subject to change based on church activities
​
We are a nut & peanut free co-op. Nuts and peanuts are not permitted at any co-op event.

Parent Obligations
One of the fundamental principles of home education is the primary role of parental authority for the education and welfare of their children. Parents are required to do the following: comply with the Maryland home school law, oversee the student's work and behavior, ensure the safety of their children, be informed, volunteer their time for the benefit of the group, and model godly behavior. Our fellowship is designed as a cooperative effort for families who educate their children at home. This co-op is not an umbrella school. In order for the fellowship to run smoothly, one adult per family is required to actively teach or assist and must remain on the premises during the time co-op is in operation.
