Whether you're new to homeschooling or a seasoned veteran, we truly believe you’re doing an amazing job! As a co-op, we’re here to partner with you to ensure your child experiences diverse learning styles, engages with peers, and has fun along the way.
What are your safety and
security protocols?
Safety and security are of the utmost importance to us. We require all adults to be background checked by the state of Tennessee. We also make a point to carry all necessary insurance, and remain in good standing with our insurance company.
Liability waivers and photo releases are required to be signed by all participating families.
What curriculum do you utilize?
We will be utilizing the "Gather Round Homeschool" Curriculum. Students will be provided with a workbook and supply box containing all materials needed. The cost of these supplies will be included in your enrollment fee and will be thoroughly explained to you!
When do we meet?
We meet every Tuesday from 9:45am-2:30pm.
We will follow Hamilton County school’s calendar. Therefore, any holidays, breaks, or major weather closures will be following their schedule. Exact dates of attendance are provided upon enrollment.
What does parent-led mean?
Being a parent-led co-op means we are utilizing the parents involved to teach the classes, as parental involvement is required. We are here to guide you all along the way and utilize an amazing curriculum as our backbone to assist.
What is our
Daily Schedule?
We meet one day a week from 9:45am- 2:30pm. Parents must remain on campus at all times with their respective children. Lunchtime is a time for us all to enjoy and associate so we encourage all to bring a lunch!
​
What is our refund policy?
Full refunds can be requested via email within 24 hours of purchase of your enrollment. Due to the personalized nature of the required items (printed curriculum workbooks, supplies, etc.) and the limited availability of space we are unable to offer refunds after this period. There are no exceptions to this rule. If you determine that Compass Rose Homeschool Co-op is not suitable for your family following enrollment, you must send a written email to withdraw from classes to compassrosehomeschoolcoop@gmail.com. This ensures we maintain accurate records for informing teachers and the host location about attendance changes.
