Friday Co-op will be recruiting for Fall 2025 at our new location on the Austin Discovery School campus. 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 three class periods, with two or more class options for each age group, plus an hour for lunch. An age range is determined for each class.
For ages 13 and under, a parent must stay on the premises for the duration of the day and participate in assigned teaching and volunteer responsibilities. There is a teen drop-off option for folks 14+ who exhibit independence and personal accountability
Although our families have diverse religious beliefs and practices, Friday Co-op is a secular group.
