Our Purpose
Our primary purpose is to glorify God in all we do. To have a place where our educators can help parents provide instruction with a biblical worldview. Our goal is to have a place where we can help one another to equip our children and families to defend their faith, encourage one another and build each other up. We won't take your place of teaching your children, but we want to supplement and help.
Educational Philosophy
Our group is firmly grounded in education from a biblical worldview. The learning environment and materials used reflect the character of Christ and Christian values. We believe that with parents rests the sole responsibility for the care, training, and education of their children (Deuteronomy 6:4-9).
What We Can Offer You
In addition to our varied academic and enrichment classes, we provide a social situation for your children. In between classes, our students hang out in our Social Hall, playing games, chatting, and snacking in the youth room. We also will provide a quiet room so some of our students have a place to study or get tutoring in a quiet environment. Our parent volunteers will be coordinating our volunteer activities and our give back to the church who is hosting us AND other parent volunteers will be coordinating social and fellowship activities for your children and family. While we focus on middle school and high school students, we offer enrichment and academic classes for younger elementary aged siblings.
You can choose as little as one class for your child/ren or as many as the schedule allows. Your student is not required to take any our core classes; if your family just want to take elective type classes that is great too. Parents are not required to stay on campus, but do need to sign in and sign out their children. Students are not expected to stay the entire day on campus, you may drop them off or pick them up any time you wish. But, they can stay until the end of the school day (4pm), if your family wishes.
Due to current events, we are taking extra precautions for the health and safety of our students and teachers. We have hand sanitizer in every classroom, there is a sink and hand soap in every class room as well. We are cleaning the tables and chairs after every class, and have a strict no fever/sick policy.

Tuition
Tuition payments are paid monthly, per semester, or year to the teacher of the class. On duty committee members will NOT collect payments. Please discuss any payment issues or concerns directly to your student's teacher. We allow parents to pay the yearly class fee over the course of 8 equal payments. But, please be aware that the full class fee must be paid, if course is dropped. Post-dated checks may be written at the beginning of the school year to pay for the entire school year for those who do not wish to remember to pay at the beginning of each month. We highly encourage this.

For questions, concerns, comments you can contact us several ways: through our email address thebeaconcoop@gmail.com or our facebook page www.facebook.com/thebeaconcoop. (We are an all volunteer co-op; we will try to get back to you as soon as possible)
