Frequently Asked Questions

No, Elevation Home School Co-op is open to anyone who wants to join! Elevation Co-op was founded on the principle that the Christian faith is inseparable from any part of our lives, including education. Therefore many of our courses provide foundational academics as taught from a Biblical worldview.

Elevation Home School Co-op is a cooperative environment. As such, we rely on parents to fill the many roles that we have at the Co-op. These roles include teachers, teaching assistants, setting up and tearing down, and nursery workers, to name a few. Parent teachers are essential to keeping class costs low. Elevation Co-op is a great place to learn to teach a class as you will have a teaching assistant and help from your class coordinator.

We offer classes for preschool through high school. Nursery is also available for parents with very young children while they are teaching or aiding with classes.

Costs vary depending on what classes you chose to enroll in. We try to keep costs as low as possible by relying on Co-op members to teach classes. We attempt to keep most classes between $30-$80. If we need to bring in an outside teacher, class fees will be higher to compensate them for their time. Prices are listed for each class so you can see the cost before you enroll. Additionally, all member families are charged a one-time fee to cover the cost of insurance and the use of the building.

We meet on Wednesdays from September till April at Clearfield Community Church in Clearfield.

Yes, Elevation Co-op is not a drop off program. A parent is expected to help teach classes and at least be present at the Co-op whenever their child is in a class.

No. Just sign up for the classes you are interested in. You will only need to be present for the classes that you teach and those that your child attends.

Elevation Co-op does not have a mandatory attendance policy. As a homeschool Co-op, we celebrate the great flexibility that homeschooling gives to families to take vacations during the off-season. However, we do ask that members are courteous and give ample warning when they will be absent so that substitutes can be found for the classes they teach and teachers can take their children's absence into account in any lesson planning.

Historically most K-8 classes are between 5-15 students and high school classes have been between 3-8 students, but may vary from year to year.

Most of our classes are taught by parents in the Co-op. We occasionally offer classes taught by outside teachers such as Guitar, High School Biology and Physics Labs, and Spanish.

Parents are expected to pay for the semester's classes at the start of the semester. Many parents in our Co-op participate in homeschool-friendly distance learning programs such as "My Tech High" and "Harmony". These programs reimburse parents for most classes that are taught at Elevation Co-op.
