Registration for the 2026-2027 school year opens to new families on March 23.
Village Lutheran Homeschool Co-op, which meets on Monday mornings at Village, is a parent-led, exclusively-LCMS homeschool co-op for the whole family. The co-op is a ministry of Village Lutheran Church, under the supervision of Village’s Board of Christian Education. We aim for our co-op to support LCMS families in their homeschooling endeavors, no matter their educational style or structure. Because we are an all-volunteer group (with assistance from Village’s pastor and deaconess), costs are minimal. Our group highly values fostering relationships among the families, so, in addition to our Monday classes, we organize multiple field trips, moms’ enrichment events, and family social events throughout the year.
We begin each morning with Matins, then separate into classes by age. School-aged students take two classes each morning. Families often bring their lunches to eat together after classes and play on the playground.
High School: High school students are busy, so we want to make the most of their co-op morning! We offer a year-long Lutheran theology course every year (taught by an LCMS ordained minister or vicar, and rotating topics), which, with some supplemental reading, can be the major part of a full or partial credit in theology. High school students also take art for half of the school year, and another parent-led course to fill out the school year (in past years we’ve had Shakespeare and health; going forward we may also be able to offer public speaking, government, art history, or other courses, depending on interest).
Elementary and Middle School: We offer a variety of enrichment and supplemental courses for kindergarten through eighth grades, depending on what classes parents are interested in teaching. In the past, students have taken nature study, speech, literature, geography, theater, PE, creative writing, science and math experiments and games, mock trial, cultural studies, mythology, Spanish, crafts, and music. The goal for these grades is to supplement parents’ chosen homeschool curricula through fun, interactive classes with minimal homework, while providing a classroom experience for students.
Preschool: Our lively preschool class gives students the opportunity to play and interact with their peers, listen to stories, play games, sing songs, and do crafts. Each preschool teacher leads the class for a 5-week “term,” and we always have at least two parents serving as helpers in this active group.
Nursery: Moms who have babies in the nursery enjoy a morning of visiting together, and help the group by taking turns to teach or assist a class while their babies are cared for by the other nursery moms.
