Lafayette Christian Co‑op joins together in providing a Christian environment to expose ourselves and children to public speaking, to enjoy art projects together, to learn new things in hands-on science activities, to teach those classes that are difficult or time consuming to teach on our own, and to foster close friendships on a foundation of Christ.
All for the goal of glorifying God by sharpening our children like arrows, training them in the ways of the Lord, and supporting each other in our homeschooling journey.
Meeting Frequency: Every other Thursday afternoon starting mid August (with a break in Dec/Jan) through early May.
