Weekly Co-op (2025-2026):
Starting Tuesday, August 26th • 9am-noon
Our Co-op is free and open to all members of Homeschool Tangipahoa. The parents rotate teaching the lessons. We usually meet 30 weeks, so your student gets 30 lessons in each subject, and you only have to prepare 4-5 lessons in each subject.
• Ages 3-5 (Preschool): Non-writing and non-reading (3 20 minute classes)
• Ages 6-9 (1st-4th): Reading and writing (3 30 minute classes)
• Ages 10 & up (5th grade and up): 3 45 minute classes
• High school group - Civics/Economics will be one class
These are very hands-on classes.
• 3-5 - Classic Children’s Literature and Science
• 6-9 - Classic Children’s Literature and Science
• 10 & up - Countries of Europe, Literature and Artists and Classical Musicians
Each parent takes a turn teaching in the groups where they have students. Babies and toddlers are welcome. The parents who are not teaching can help keep them entertained.
The groups are divided by ability. The ages are just a guideline.
