Virginia Beach CM Co-Op (Launching Fall 2024)

A community of families pursuing the true and good life through a CM lifestyle and education. This co-op will not be “enrichment” but it will feature the parts of the CM feast best done in community and often overlooked in the hustle of normal life. Included within this group is a mama book club reading through CM's volumes and related books. Applications are open on a rolling basis and admission is available between each term.

New Co-Op

I’m looking for CM families to form a co-op that meets once a week. We would cover all subjects (math, geography, art, literature, drill, music, handicrafts, etc) so students would not miss an instruction day attending co-op. Moms would rotate teaching lessons and caring for younger ones in a nursery with toys and enrichment activities.

Co-op, nature group, book club

I would love to start a Charlotte Mason co-op, nature study/hiking group, and/or a mom's book club. I've been a part of all three in the past, and I've loved my experiences! If you'd like to join me in building a CM community in the Sunapee region, please reach out. My kids are in elementary school and below, but I would welcome friendships with moms that have older kids too!

Flourish Cottage School: A Charlotte Mason Cooperative

We meet three times a month in Gainesville on Fridays and currently delegate teaching subjects to parents. We have a few in a “preschool” room, and school aged children separated into two groups: ages 6-9 and 10-14. Currently we start with hymns and Bible, followed by handicrafts (lower forms), ASL(upper) Shakespeare(upper), Church History(upper), Literature(lower), Sol-fa (lower). We wrap up with poetry and folk songs and eat lunch together. We are looking for Christian families committed to Charlotte Mason’s educational philosophies.

Nature Group and Book Club in East Lewis County

Fall 2023 - We are starting a weekly nature co-op for homeschooling families - whether you use Charlotte Mason inspired books/curriculum in your home, or not! We will be meeting weekly through the school year for an explorative nature walk and free play, and ALSO meeting monthly for a book club and discussion group (book club is for parents but children are welcome to attend!).

Nature CO-op:
All ages are welcome here! Our weekly meetings will be loosely structured with optional nature journaling and more involved wilderness activities/skills for older children. We will be primarily meeting at my family's campground (just outside of Morton), and once a month we will have an off-site field trip to various outdoor locations. Our current meeting time is Friday mornings from 9am-12pm, but we are flexible and open to other suggestions! If you would like to join and can commit to coming weekly please let us know if there is a better time for you.

Book Club:
The club is held monthly, in my home, and children are welcome to join. We meet the second Monday of every month at 4pm for discussion and potluck - please bring a dish/snack to share :)

Coppell, TX

Bethel Schoolhouse

Bethel Schoolhouse is a Christian co-op in Coppell for children from birth through 1st grade (by September 2024). We are a group of homeschooling parents who would like to together provide our kids with a wide and generous education in a way that we wouldn’t be able to do alone.

We offer extra-curricular/enrichment classes to compliment the core courses children are working on at home. Charlotte Mason said that if a family is like a nation, it should strive to “establish close and friendly relations with other nations; and that, not with one or two, but with many…” A co-op is an opportunity to do just that! Let’s be friends and work together.
