The Hunter Street Homeschool Cooperative is a collection of homeschooling parents organized in a cooperative homeschool model through which we have a faculty to assist in learning. Our model combines the experience of professional educators and cooperative learning with the flexibility and individual attention of homeschooling. Classes are intended to serve as a supplement to the home education you are providing your child.

“The Hunter Street Homeschool Cooperative provides a quality education from a biblical worldview. It is our intention to place ‘faith in learning.’”

• Inspired Learning
  We view learning as a joyful adventure. To that end, we make our classrooms a safe, inviting, and nurturing place.

• Engaging Partnerships
  We seek to partner with parents as they walk with God in their responsibility to educate their children.

• Dynamic Development
  In relating to God, to one another, and to our children, we desire to be a God-honoring community who walk together in grace and truth.

• Structured Flexibility
  We believe strongly in the twin educational gifts of structure and flexibility.
  

As a ministry of Hunter Street Baptist Church, the Hunter Street Homeschool Cooperative affirms and engages The Baptist Faith and Message (2000), and our Statement of Beliefs.

What started as conversations with many homeschooling families at Hunter Street has now become a reality!  In August 2024, Hunter Street opened the Homeschool Cooperative for grades 1-3, with the goal of adding one grade each year.  We are thankful for the ministers and church members who have been praying for us!

For the 2026-2027 academic year, our program offerings are as follows:

Grades 1 - 5
Language Arts (handwriting, phonics, spelling, and reading), Math, History, and Science
Maximum class size per grade: 15 students

When may I register/enroll my child(ren)?

What is the class size?
The maximum enrollment for each class is 15 students.

How many classes are available?
The cooperative offers one class per grade (1st through 5th grade), with the intention of adding one grade each year.

Is there a “wait list?”
Yes. Registration/enrollment will be tracked by the order received and will be considered in that order. Once the maximum enrollment for a class is achieved, subsequent registrations will be added to the “wait list” by order received.

Consideration will be given to families with multiple children in multiple grades.

What curriculum will the cooperative use?
The co-op teaches four core subjects: English Language Arts, math, science, and history.  Curriculum information for each grade can be found on our “Curriculum” tab.

The faculty has been instrumental in selecting curriculum that is grade appropriate. Hunter Street Baptist Church has prioritized providing a biblical world view in our homeschool cooperative.

When will the cooperative start?
The first day of classes will be August 13, 2026.

When and where will the cooperative meet?
Classes will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30am to 1:30pm on the second floor of the Preschool/Children building (Hunter Street Kids).

What about lunch?
Students are to bring lunch to school each day.

Is this cooperative a cover school?
No, we are not a cover school. Families will need a cover school of their choosing.

As a parent, am I expected to stay for classes?
Parents, or other guardians, are to drop off and pick up their child(ren). Parents are not expected to stay on campus for classes. It is expected that parents be available to pick up their children from the campus should an emergency occur.

What does a typical day look like?
