ARE PARENTS EXPECTED TO HELP?
Yes. Aiming High is a traditional cooperative, meaning an adult must accompany the student(s) every week and volunteer 2 out of 3 periods in the day. The 3rd period you will attend Support Group. This ensures a smoothly run day and families who are all equally invested in the success of the co-op. There are many options to serve from set up/clean up team to teaching to leadership positions. We will always do our best to match your interests and skills to the best position possible.
CAN I DROP MY CHILDREN OFF?
A parent or background checked guardian is required on site. One of our main goals as a co-op is to nurture relationships between parents, students, and families. We also need as many hands as possible to keep the program as cost-effective as possible.
WHAT KIND OF CLASSES ARE OFFERED?
The classes offered each year will fully depend on the interests, skills, and gifts of the parents involved. Our K-5th classes will be automatically enrolled in the classes that are provided that year for their age. Grades 6-12 will have various options of classes to choose from once Class Registration opens.
A sample class offering could be:
- K-5th - U.S. Geography, Spanish, Bible, Earth Science
- 6th-12th - Culinary, STEM, Spanish, Public Speaking, ASL
ARE THERE CLASSES OFFERED FOR HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT?
As with all of our classes, this is based on our members and what classes/grade levels they volunteer to teach. Credits are assigned by the homeschooling parent.
WHAT IS SUPPORT GROUP?
The homeschooling parent(s) or guardian(s) who attend co-op. Two periods you will volunteer and one period you will attend Support Group. We have coffee, snacks, and discussion each week. This group is a time to relax, grow new friendships, pray, and support each other in our faith and homeschooling journeys.
IS THERE A PLACE FOR CHILDREN UNDER FIVE?
Of course! We have preschool classes for 3 and 4-year-olds and a nursery for our 0-2 babies.
