One of the many benefits of homeschooling is being able to select particular curriculums to cater your homeschool to your individual children. These subjects are meant to be supplemental to what you are learning at home. You will select and use your own curriculums for math, reading, spelling, handwriting, history, and science.
You will be provided with material each week for Latin and Theology, Apologetics, and Discipleship that you can bring home and continue to review in order to gain the most benefit from co-op days, but it is not mandatory.
The main purpose of these lessons is to develop deep roots in Christ so children know who they are and whose they are, and to capitalize on the group experiences that are more difficult to replicate at home.
Faith + Foundations is a new co-op in Charlotte, NC, and is focused on building a strong Level One group with the intent to build out Levels Two (middle school years) and Three (high school years) as the oldest children in Level One prepare to rise up.
Level One sessions are best suited for children ages 4 to 9 years of age, but mature 3-year-olds could be considered. Some topics will be cyclical in nature (for instance, Theology) so there will be essentially 2-3 years of material that the children will cycle through several times with new eyes and new understanding according to their age and ability before moving on to Level Two.
We believe there is great benefit in children learning together across ages as older ages are able to more deeply understand the material through assisting and encouraging younger ages in tasks/projects. “Teaching/helping” is such an underrated way to solidify understanding of the subject matter and develop leadership skills.
