Where and when do classes meet?
Currently we are meeting at four locations: Fairdale Christian Church and Calvin Presbyterian Church in St. Matthews meet on Mondays, First Alliance Church in Buechel meets on Thursdays and our fourth location in Memphis, Indiana meets on Fridays.
What classes are offered?
The classes offered change each session, depending on what parents volunteer to teach. Some of the classes that have been offered include: Ancient History, Drama, Astronomy, Sewing, Robotics, Latin, PE, Five in a Row, Inventors, Art, Dance, Narnia, Plymouth Colony, Cooking, Journalism, Desktop Publishing, KY History, Theme Pockets, USS Constitution, Geography, Math Games, Creative Writing, Music and Yearbook.
Can I register our family for only one class?
Yes, you may choose to take any number of classes for your children, the fee is the same for your entire family.
How much will this cost?
Tuition may vary slightly from location, but is between $75 to $100 per 12 week session. This includes all class fees for your entire family, except any additional supply fees that individual teachers may require. Most classes do not require a supply fee.
How many students attend and how are they divided into classes?
We have over 60 students at Fairdale and 95 at Calvin, ranging from Nursery through 12th grade. We try to limit the class size to 12 students, unless there is a need for more students, such as for PE or Drama class.
What are my responsibilities if I join the co-op?
A parent is responsible for volunteering while their children participate in co-op classes. You may choose to teach or assist in a class or help in the nursery, but you must be onsite volunteering while your children attend classes. Members are also assigned to a clean up team once or twice each session, cleaning the building for one hour after co-op ends for that day.
Can I join the co-op without teaching a class?
While you may join without teaching, you must volunteer in some way while your children are in classes. We always need extra workers in the nursery, or as teacher assistants.
What does teaching a class involve?
All classes are taught by parent volunteers. You do not have to be trained specifically in the area/ subject matter that you teach, however an interest in the subject matter is helpful. The key is to have a heart that loves God and desires to serve the homeschool families in our co-op. You will be asked to submit a lesson plan overview, stating your objectives. You will not have to provide your own supplies. If you have an interest in teaching, but are unsure of what to teach or how to go about it, please contact Terese Cooper at: and I’d be happy to help you.
Is the co-op affiliated with a specific church or denomination?
While we do not represent any specific church or denomination, HFHG is distinctly Christian in nature and we ask all families to agree with a basic statement of faith, which can be found in our handbook and catalog. Teachers are required to sign our statement of faith and agree to teach from that perspective.
