Charlotte’s Table Co-op
We are a group of CM families who have been gathering and growing since 2017 in the Treasure Valley (aka, the metropolis of Boise, Idaho). Our co-op is for Year 0 to High School, and we meet at a local church on Thursdays (with the 4th Thu off) from Sep-Nov for a Fall Term, and Feb-Apr for a Spring Term. Our Winter Sabbath Season of Dec-Jan includes optional gatherings. We also host events on our co-op calendar for families, just moms, and social / game nights for our middle and high school students. These build community, foster relationships, and provide fun memories!
Our class subjects vary by Form, but we focus on classes that either:
A) are beneficial when done in larger groups (think folk dancing for the younger years, or Shakespeare for the older years)
or, B) are difficult for mom to implement at home by herself, are difficult to be consistent with, or might fall off the edge of Mom's very full plate, because, LIFE! (think Scouting for the younger years, or Citizenship for the older years)
Our co-op runs from 12:45 pm - 3 pm for Year 0-Form 2 students, with an additional half hour of classes for our Form 3+ students (ending their day at 3:30 pm). Families often stay after co-op for unstructured outdoor play and mom fellowship.
We are NOT the Charlotte Mason police when it comes to your family's home education, and our members use a variety of CM curriculums on their own. However, we ARE a Protestant, CM group. We strive to have Biblical co-op policies and to ensure our classes are planned and implemented according to CM's 20 Principles and the educational philosophy espoused in her six volumes. If you're a seasoned CM homeschooler, we welcome you! If you're new to CM, we welcome you! Our goal is to have a strong, supportive community where we can encourage and learn from one another.
We will be hosting an Open House in the Spring of 2026 for the upcoming school year, and we'd love to meet you! Please contact us through email for more information, and to inquire if our co-op would be a good fit for your family.
All the best,
the 2026-27 Charlotte's Table Co-op Board Members
