Character Co-op (K-12 Homeschool)

We are a homeschool cooperative providing academic rigor for grades K-12. We are a Christian based co-op that meets on Tuesdays from 8:30-3:30 for all grades and Thursdays from 9-12 for 7th-12th (and any younger siblings). We meet at Castleton Christian Church on the NE side of Indy. We meet for 36 weeks from August through May with Fall, Winter, & Spring Breaks.

We are a true cooperative. A parent from each family attends co-op with the children every Tuesday and teaches classes. In general, parents teach 1-2 classes and aide in 1-2 classes for the school year. We strive to make community the focus of our co-op. All ages come together first thing in the morning for devotions and again during the lunch/recess hour. Another way we focus on community is through bi-weekly field trips/park meet-ups.

In addition, the moms find ways to connect outside of co-op through a monthly "Mom's Night Out" event. We provide community and memory-making through parties and events also. We have a Fall Family Picnic, Christmas and Valentine's Party, and more! We also produce a yearly, student-produced yearbook and t-shirt for families to remember the memories of the year.

We find organization and excellent quality through operating under a volunteer, parent-led board.
We provide academic support to grades PreK-12 and equip all students to attend college, if so desired. Each year we evaluate how many teachers and what classes the teachers can teach, as a result, our classes can vary from year to year. For most years we offer:
