Frequently asked Questions about FCHM
Q: It's August. Can we still start a homeschool co-op?
A: Absolutely! You can start a homeschool co-op any time of the year... or you may choose to charter with First Class and build up your group through "moms meetings", holiday parties and field trips through the fall months, and then start classes in the winter and spring. It's never too late to start a homeschool co-op... and our mission is to help you every step of the way!
Q: We are an existing co-op. Can we join FCHM?
A: Yes! We are an evangelical para-church ministry - meaning we work alongside Christian churches to minister to homeschooling families. We would love to have you join the network of FCHM co-ops. See "about" FCHM, and also our statement of faith.
Q: Why should we become part of FCHM?
A: Our vision is to plant homeschool co-ops in churches all over the world, where families can find encouragement and support as they navigate the homeschool years. We believe that churches should be lighthouses for homeschooling families; offering a homeschool co-op is a wonderful way to show their support and to meet a real need within the homeschool community.
It is a vision that is resonating with pastors and homeschooling families all over the world! With the number of homeschoolers growing rapidly each year, the opportunity for evangelism and ministry to whole families is tremendous.
Once you become part of the FCHM network of co-ops, you will find support, encouragement, resources and new friendships with other people who are working with homeschoolers just like you!
Q: What do you do to support co-op leaders?
A: Part of the beauty of "getting connected" with FCHM is that all of that you can follow a template for a homeschool co-op... the "nuts and bolts" of starting a homeschool co-op have already been done for you! From a functioning website to dozens of templates, prayer support and a leader's guide - you won't be a "lone ranger" at First Class. FCHM staff and other leaders work together to bring out the BEST in co-op leadership, and share it with other FCHM co-ops.
