FAQs 

  • When and where do Co-op classes take place?

    Co-op classes are held on different days depending upon location. Classes are held on Tuesday at the FLC New Albany location (2407 Beech Road, New Albany). Classes are held throughout the week at the FLC Powell location (284 S. Liberty Street, Powell).

  • How long is a co-op semester?

    Autumn and Winter co-op sessions are 10 weeks long.  Spring session is 6 weeks long.  For specific beginning and ending dates, see the class schedule files.


  • Can co-op classes act as a replacement for teaching at home?

    Faith Life co-op classes are not a replacement for your academic homeschooling efforts and are geared toward enrichment only.  At this time, we do not offer core subjects for middle school and high school.

  • What type of classes do you offer?

    Typically, Faith Life Home Educators offer classes that involve fun, hands-on learning in a social setting.  We lean toward choosing classes that homeschool parents can't (or don't want to) do at home.  Messy art projects, science experiments, PE, dance, and singing groups are just a few of the classes that are regularly in our line-up. For a list of specific class descriptions for the current session, please see the current class schedule.

  • How do I know if classes are cancelled due to inclement weather?

    Delays, cancellations, and last minute information are posted on our Facebook page and listed under the Faith Life Home Educators link at https://www.faithlifechurch.org/faith-life-home-educators. Please check for updates before heading to any FLHE event.


  • Do you make up snow days?

    No, we will not make up snow days.  We have found that doing so pushes the semester too far into the holiday and spring seasons.


  • Who can participate in co-op classes?

    Classes are available for students in grades K-12. We offer limited preschool classes for 3 & 4-year-olds. You must be considered a home-schooled student in order to participate at the New Albany location. Students at Powell can be home-schooled, public, or private schooled.


  • Is this a Christian Co-op?

    Faith Life Home Educators Homeschool Community is a ministry branch of Faith Life Church. We embrace Biblical principles and look to God to lead and guide as our community grows. While we do not require attendees to be a member of Faith Life Church, we do ask that while attending FLHE functions, participants be respectful of our Church beliefs. Please look in our handbook for our Statement of Beliefs.


  • Can I register other children besides my own?

    Because each family is required to sign a waiver of liability, you may register only for children of which you are parent or legal guardian.  If you choose to transport other families' children, they must register and pay separately, and you must fulfill their volunteer obligations in addition to your own.


  • Can I drop my child off for co-op classes?

    Faith Life Church New Albany is not a drop-off co-op. Since our classes are taught by parent volunteers and helpers, everyones’ help is needed during co-op hours.  However, every parent will have some downtime during co-op.  This is a great time to chat with other parents, do some laps in the parking lot, or take a moment to catch up on reading. 

    Our Powell location is a drop-off.  Children not enrolled in classes are to be with a parent at all times.  Prompt pick-up of students from class is required and expected.


  • Do I need to volunteer during co-op?

    For the New Albany location, in keeping with the spirit of a cooperative, a parent from each participating family is expected to remain at co-op and serve in some capacity.  

    The Powell location does not require a parent to volunteer.


  • How much does it cost to participate in co-op classes?

    The price for class varies.  Classes typically range from $20 to $200 per semester.  Class price is listed with each class on the class schedule page. 


  • Are there any fees beyond the class fees mentioned above?

    Yes. Membership dues for a family are $40 for fall session, $40 for winter session, and $20 for spring session (Powell

    location only). You only pay a membership fee for the sessions that you are enrolled.

  • At home, my child is working above grade level. Can I put him in co-op classes above his age group also?

    This is a very popular question because we have many bright homeschool students who are working above grade level.  For co-op purposes, however, we do ask that you enroll your child in classes according to his age/grade. In order to ensure space for all our families, we ask that you respect these guidelines.


  • Do we have to take classes for the entire co-op day?

    You do not have to participate in classes all day long in order to participate in co-op.


  • What do I do if I have to miss a week of co-op?

    At the New Albany location, every parent fulfills a volunteer position each week.  It is very important that you let us know if you need to miss co-op. Please find a replacement for the class you are a helper and email your child’s class teacher.


  • I'm not sure if I will be able to commit to co-op attendance, but right now I think I would like to participate. Should I go ahead and register to hold a place?

    Please do not register for co-op classes unless you are sure you would like to participate and are committed to regular attendance.  


  • How do I register?

    Co-op registration is held in person. Date and time will be emailed and posted on the FLHE Facebook page.


  • How and when do I pay for co-op classes?

    On registration day after you submit your Signed Member Handbook Agreement Form, Signed Activity Release Form, and pay the co-op membership fee, you will then sign-up for classes and pay the class fee directly to the teacher. All class checks should be made payable to the teacher.


    Membership Forms are submitted online BEFORE Registration Day.

  • Do I get a refund if our family drops out of co-op?

    After registration, if something comes up that prohibits your participation in co-op classes, you can receive a refund if feasible and supplies have not yet been purchased.  Once classes begin, you will not receive a refund.  The membership fee is non-refundable.
