2024/2025 ACCHA Weekly Co-op 

This weekly co-op will be exclusively offered to ACCHA member families only. To become members visit acchristianhomeschool.org and click membership. Family memberships are $40 per family/year but are being waived for the 2024/2025 school year with the goal of growing our membership community. 

In addition, there is NO cost for ACCHA member families to attend the weekly co-op for the 2024/2025 school year. 

Parent Led - it is mandatory that participating parents sign up to “lead” the co-op once during the school year. Parents are welcome and encouraged to sign up more than once! Please note, ACCHA will provide “basic” school supplies (see list) but anything above and beyond those needed will need to be provided by that week’s “topic teacher” at their own expense. We also recommend but don’t require that topic teachers provide a small snack as well. Topics chosen to present on should be relatively specific (i.e. Coral Reefs or sharks and not the broader teaching of ocean life) Parents are encouraged to teach about any special skills, languages, culture or hobbies they may have (i.e. spanish). We will have a projector with HDMI capabilities for those who wish to use visual equipment while teaching (just bring your laptop with HDMI capabilities).

The sign up sheet can be found at    https://signup.com/go/KaJreDB

ACCHA weekly co-op will NOT have class if Bellaire public schools are closed for inclement weather. We have two weeks off for Christmas break and a week off during spring break.   Classes will run from September 10th  - May 20th and are held weekly on Tuesdays at the ASI Community Center 102 Maple St. Bellaire, MI. Class will run from 12-3pm with the first half hour being for set up and the last half hour being for clean up. 

Class structure: 

  1. Set up (topic teacher - 12:00-12:30)

  2. Class start & Pledge of Allegiance (12:30 pm)

  3. Large group (teacher and topic introduction/lesson)

  4. Small groups (tables broken down by age - please have an age appropriate alternate craft or worksheet available for attending preschoolers/teens. During this time parents will help their children complete the craft/worksheet if necessary.

  5. Snack (optional)

  6. Closing prayer

  7. Clean up (2:30-3pm - all should help)

If a particular date has no parent signed up to teach then we will still have the space available for families who wish to work on their own work during that time.

We look forward to watching this group grow and our families be able to learn and fellowship together as homeschoolers!
