About Our Co-op

NOTE: Co-op will be taking applications for new families on March 1st. Please fill out the interest form linked below to receive the registration link when released.

Mission: The mission of the Discipleship Co-op is to provide enrichment, support and instruction for elementary school children and their families in an environment that is intentionally Christ-centered and discipleship-focused. 

Overview: The co-op will meet one day a week on Tuesdays at North Boulevard Church of Christ (1112 N Rutherford Blvd, in the Filling Station) and hold classes for Pre-K through 5th grade. The classes will be taught by qualified parents with a passion for teaching and nurturing discipleship. Our approach will be hands-on, lighthearted learning, with parental involvement at every step. Our desire is to encourage homeschooling families in their education and in their spiritual journeys. 

The Discipleship Co-op is not a school. We are a parent-directed program for homeschool families to come together for learning and fellowship. Parents are the ultimate directors of the child’s education and are responsible for ensuring that their children are meeting the state’s requirements for core education. We are not an umbrella school. 

While our co-op is Christ-centered and discipleship-focused, we are cautious to try to avoid doctrinal differences. Our families come from multiple denominations, and we endeavor to allow an atmosphere for us to grow spiritually without encroaching on areas that would create division. 

Enrollment: Co-op enrollment is be limited in scope, and is designed to primarily serve young homeschool families at North Boulevard Church of Christ, children of tutors at Discipleship Tutorial, and younger siblings of Discipleship Tutorial students. Our vision is to nurture young students and prepare them to enter the Discipleship Tutorial in 5th/6th grade. We see the co-op as a place that will foster a love of learning and the love of Christ. 

Cost: We desire to keep the cost of the co-op as affordable as possible. The total cost is $150 per child per year, and a $100 registration fee per family. Teachers of a class are compensated by allowing one student to enroll for no charge for every class taught.

Parents: All parents are expected to be present and actively participate with their children throughout the day. All teachers, assistants and substitute teachers must have a background check on file at North Boulevard. Each family will have a job for setup and teardown to make light work for everyone. Exceptions may be made in the case of Sonshine School teachers and Discipleship Tutorial tutors, and will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

Lunch: Families can bring their own food or order lunch through Discipleship Tutorial.

Co-op will end after lunch.

Leadership: Discipleship Co-op is directed by Meagan Bullington with a small advisory board of DT moms.
