Rooted Homeschool Co-op
Rooted Homeschool Co-op is an Evangelical Christian based, all volunteer, parent involvement, non-profit organization. We serve all ages.
Welcome to the 2024-2025 Rooted crew! Whether your family has been with us for years or is brand new, we want you to know that we are excited to have you with us. We look forward to journeying together in learning, growth, collaboration, and community.
If you’ve been with us before, you’ve probably noticed that our group is undergoing a few changes, namely, a bit of rebranding. This group was previously called “The Grants Pass Homeschool Co-op”. We have chosen to change our name to “Rooted” in order to clarify our focus and cause our group to be easier to recognize in the great sea of home educating resources.
At Rooted, our most important value is to be rooted in Christ. It is our desire to honor Him, and therefore each other, in all of our decisions and interactions. He will be the Center and guide for all we do. We are implementing an optional chapel time to begin each Friday morning with the opportunity to pray for one another and worship the Lord together before we dive into classes.
Because such a large part of loving God is loving each other, we want for this homeschool cooperative to be more than just a place for classes. We long to see true and lasting friendships built, families strengthened and encouraged, and for this group to resemble a family as we grow together.
In order to facilitate this, we encourage “Meetings between the meetings”—checking in on one another, enjoying lunch and free time together after classes (as the weather holds), as well as a variety of social gatherings and field trips outside our normal gatherings.
Two of our other core values are to be rooted in family and education. Therefore, we seek to provide a variety of classes for all age groups of children, allow for great creativity in class offerings, and depend on parents (and students, too!) as the teachers and volunteers. This is also why we are not a drop-off program, but require that a parent be present at each Friday meeting with their children.
As a cooperative, each family, and each individual, brings something special and needful to the group. Thank you, for choosing to take part in this journey together. With your help, this is going to be a great year!
With blessings and anticipation,
Your Rooted Homeschool Co-op Board
