Who are we? We are Way of Wisdom Christian Homeschool Co-Op, a group of Christian homeschooling families in the Waco area, joining together to encourage, enrich and educate our children together through weekly parent lead cooperative classes.
When will we meet? WOW will have 14-week semesters. Starting Fall 2019. Thursdays. Starting August 8th, 2019, with the exception of October 31st.
Is there an age requirement: Oldest child must be at least 5 and in Kindergarten by Fall of 2019 to enroll.
Can my younger children attend? Yes! There will be a nursery for the children 4 and younger.
What is the purpose of this co-op? It is our purpose to serve Christ by homeschooling our children in partnership with other homeschooling families; to provide quality educational enrichment courses that enable our children to maximize their God-given talents and potential; and to provide a positive and safe learning environment where children can learn academics, responsibility, accountability, and appropriate social skills in a Christian context. WOW is not meant to replace any homeschool program, it is only to enrich and add to the elements of which the parents are already doing at home.
Can I drop my child off?
