Considering HH Homeschool Co-op?
As you prayerfully consider if HH is right for your family, here are three components that we have found helpful in the decision making process. We would recommend that all three of these components agree and are consistent with your homeschool philosophy, your family dynamic, and your ability to commit the expected time and energy required to fulfill your co-op responsibilities. Academically, does the HH Homeschool curriculum being offered match the academic goals of your homeschool?

Are you able to fulfill the service expectations and effort needed to join HH Co-op? Everyone fulfilling their duties with a heart to serve is what makes the co-op work each week. Please carefully consider the time commitment and the support needed in relation to your own availability and personal philosophies. HH Co-op is a true cooperative and it is expected that once placed on a teaching team, you will:
