Motto: “When we learn what we love, we love learning.” Goals: Love God; Love your neighbor! We wish to honor God by providing an atmosphere of joy, friendship and learning--for the children and Moms (and Dads, and grandparents!). In addition, Explorers co-op is especially designed to be a place of encouragement for new homeschoolers and homeschoolers new to the area. What: The Explorers Co-op is a K-12 unit study based homeschool enrichment program within the Eagle’s Nest Christian Home Educators’ Association. Who: Any Eagle’s Nest family may register. Classes are open to K-12, with childcare/classes for infants, toddlers and pre-k siblings. When: We have three semesters a year, each semester meeting once a week for 6 weeks. Tuesdays 10:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Where: Royal Baptist Church 70 Mayo Royal
Industrial Blvd How much: $30/Annual Family Fee. Class fees are $5-$15 per unit study to cover the cost of supplies for each class.
Format: The children will be divided up into class divisions or “Explorers Teams.”
All students K-12 will study the same unit, but at different levels. The Babies and Toddlers will be cared for in a nursery setting. The Toddlers will have games, activities and snacks provided for them. The Pre-K 3-4 class will have age-appropriate lessons which will sometimes (but not always) relate to the unit study. Subject coordinators will oversee each of the following subjects: History/Geography Literature/Writing Science Art/Hands-on Projects The moms of the students will have the opportunity to teach and assist in the classes or assist with the pre-k classes. When not in a classroom, moms participate in “Moms class” which is a discussion group covering a variety of subjects pertinent to homeschooling, parenting, Christian living, etc. It's a wonderful place to find help, encouragement, and lots of laughter.
Fall Unit: Oct. 25-Dec. 6 (Homesteading/Survival Skills) Winter Unit: Jan. 10-Feb. 14 (Outer Space) Spring Unit: March 20-Apr. 24 (Oceans) We will end each unit study with a finale celebration.
