What we offer
MWA is a Christian homeschool co-op offering all required electives classes for students ages 3-11 (Art, Music, and PE/Health). The subjects are taught by qualified tutors with classes capped at 15 students (10 for PreK). Parents may stay to help or drop-off students each week and volunteer as classroom assistant at least 6 times/year (childcare available during volunteer shifts for a fee). The elementary classes are 45 minutes each and include a time of lunch at the end of the day. The PreK classes have shortened lessons with play throughout the day to build social skills. During the year the students will perform in 2 concerts where they will share what they have been learning in music. Families will also be able to participate in field trips, STEM Demos, and parent fellowship opportunities throughout the year.
