Is LIGHT a Co-Op?

LIGHT is not a co-op where classes are offered. Many LIGHT members belong to co-op groups such as Classical Conversations, Firmly Planted or smaller informal co-ops, and find support by both memberships. A couple reasons we are not a co-op: LIGHT offers activities throughout the year when co-ops are not in session, LIGHT offers group activities outside of co-ops, LIGHT offers a monthly Moms’ Night Out that include themes such as Curriculum Nights, Discipleship, as well as guest speakers. These are just a few reasons why many LIGHT members are part of other co-ops, but there are also many LIGHT members that find LIGHT alone is enough support for their family. It really is a family’s individual choice on opportunities available for their homeschool journey.
