Austin Area Homeschool
Friday Co-op
AAH Friday Co-op is BACK!!!
We are very excited to announce that we are recruiting for Spring 2024. Friday co-op is a secular, parent- taught, LGBT+ friendly, social & enrichment opportunity meeting in southwest Austin. Covid vaccinations are required.
The AAH Friday Co-op offers a unique opportunity for homeschooling families in the Austin, Texas, area. The co-op, an inclusive once-a-week cooperative, is made up of families with a common goal: to provide their children with a socially and academically enriching education in a diverse, supportive, and respectful environment.
The co-op offers a variety of classes for the students, from science, history and culture, and arts and crafts, all the way to cooking and games ... whatever the students want to learn and the parents want to teach. The co-op operates under a leadership team, with all parents sharing the teaching, administrative and logistical responsibilities.
Friday Co-op is open to families who have at least one child age 5 or older. There are two class periods, with two class options for each age group, plus an hour for lunch. An age range is determined for each class.
The co-op is not a drop-off; a parent must stay on the premises for the duration of the day and participate in assigned teaching and volunteer responsibilities.
Although our families have diverse religious beliefs and practices, Friday Co-op is a secular group.
