Introduction
Our co-op offers a unique blend of the best features of homeschooling and traditional schooling. We provide students with a structured environment that fosters holistic development. Our classes encompass a wide range of classes, ensuring students have diverse learning opportunities. Interactions with teachers are positive and inspiring, promoting a supportive learning atmosphere. Group work encourages collaboration and teamwork. Additionally, we create a faith-based environment that aligns with our Catholic values. Social opportunities allow students to interact with peers and build relationships. Furthermore, we recognize the primary educators of their children are parents, and we strive to maintain flexibility and mutual respect with them.

Mission
Our mission is to foster a supportive and enriching Catholic community for homeschooling families to connect and share their faith, knowledge, and skills. We aim to cultivate an environment where students can flourish academically, spiritually, and socially while embracing the values and teachings of the Catholic Church.
History
Queen of Peace co-op was founded in 2025 to help establish a place where the homeschool community can feel welcome and aided to raising young disciples of Jesus.
Schedule & Fees
We meet once a week on Tuesdays from 8:45-3:00. We have 2 semesters per year, and we are in session during the months of August through November, and January through April. We have two-14 week semesters with 1 week break planned during each semester.
Early Learning
This will be for children in Pre-K and Kindergarten. Ages: 3-5 (sometimes 6)

This will be for children in 1st grade through 5th grade. Ages: 6-11

Parent Room / Nursery
We have a space dedicated for parents and for children ages newborn - 2 years. If a parent teacher or assistant teacher is in need of care, they can leave their babies with a dedicated babysitter (another parent or volunteer) while they teach or assist in a classroom. The little ones are always welcome in the classrooms if they are needed, though the goal is to be able to teach without distractions.
We hope to offer classes for each of the 3 groups / age ranges each semester for every hour of the co-op, but it varies depending on available volunteers to teach. Please contact us about current classes before paying any fees. Email:
