SAIL CO-OP
 

The SAIL Co-op involves homeschooling families working together to create a day of enrichment classes for their kids. We offer 4- to 8-week sessions of small classes for students from age 3 through teens. A nursery is provided for younger siblings.

All participants are actively involved in making Co-op a success by serving as teachers and class helpers, as well as performing clean-up duties. Any SAIL member whose oldest child is at least 5 years old is welcome to submit an application to join the next Co-op session.

What are the benefits of joining the SAIL Co-op?

• Co-op offers homeschooled students the opportunity to learn about things they may not cover in their homeschooling.

• It's a chance for group/cooperative learning where kids can learn and practice working with others.

• It allows for greater availability and spreading out the cost of lab equipment, supplies and curriculum for specific unit studies.

• It's fun!
