Registration has closed for the fall session. Please fill out an interest form linked below to be contacted for spring session. We will reach out to you via email to schedule an information meeting & visit during the co-op day, if possible.

CVHSC Interest Form

Steps to Enroll in CVHSC:

  1. Please review our Statement of Faith to make sure our co-op is a good fit for your family.
  2. Families must have a child at least 1st grade (age 6 as of September 1st of the current school year) or older. (We have a nursery, preschool & kindergarten program for younger siblings.)
  3.  If it looks like we could be a good fit for your family, and you would like to find out more information, please fill out an interest form. After you submit the form, we will follow up with you as soon as possible. We also reach out to families on this list when we begin enrollment for each co-op session and will invite them to an information meeting. Enrollment typically begins in April for fall and in October for spring. If we don’t hear back after reaching out, your family will not be considered for future openings or may be the last to be contacted if you inquire again later. Please note: before families are considered for enrollment, they must attend an in-person information meeting. 
  4. Once enrollment has been offered, and registration applications are received, the membership fee will be due. We have the following enrollment options for both the Barker & Dishman locations:
    • Annual Membership (only available each fall):
      • Enrollment in both fall & spring session: $130/family, priority re-enrollment each fall. This option is only available to families who enroll for fall session.
      • If you choose (and are offered) dual enrollment, the cost is $260/family for the entire school year. Dual enrollment is only able to be offered to families who have attended co-op for 2 consecutive sessions, or at the discretion of the board.
    • Session-only Membership:
      • Enrollment in one session of co-op. Cost is $75/family, re-enrollment occurs when registration opens to new & waiting list families and spots are not guaranteed.
      • If you choose (and are offered) dual enrollment, the cost is $150/family for the enrolled session. Dual enrollment is only able to be offered to families who have attended co-op for 2 consecutive sessions, or at the discretion of the board.

Other things to know:

  1. Each location meets once a week for 9 weeks in the Fall & Spring from 9:30-1:00 (18 days a school year). Our Dishman location meets on Tuesdays and our Barker location meets on Fridays. We offer field trips, moms events, student holiday parties, youth events and other activities year-round.
  2. It is required each member of our co-op attends chapel during the co-op day.
  3. Each adult who participates in our co-op must complete a background check. Cost is $27 every two years and can be completed online. Upon approval of enrollment, we will send you the link.
  4. Class registration fees will be another separate cost. Class registration will begin after the end of each enrollment period. To get an idea of what classes have cost in previous sessions: CVHSC Previously Offered Classes
  5. It is not a requirement to teach a class in order to participate in our co-op. However, in order to offer an adequate amount of classes, we do need people to be willing if they are able and feel led to do so.
  6. If you are a special needs parent, you may assist your child if needed and may act as their one-on-one aide. If you are able to also be the helper in their classes, that is very helpful but not required.
  7. Each adult will be placed in various volunteer positions throughout the co-op day. It takes all of us to make it work.
