GAP Enrichment Co-Op:
A Parent-Led Co-Op for Students Grades K-12
Wednesdays | 10:00 am – 1:30 pm
What is GAP?
GAP (“God Answers Prayers”) is a parent-led homeschool enrichment co-op designed to supplement your family’s homeschool experience. Through weekly classes and shared activities, students have opportunities to learn alongside peers while families build relationships and serve together.
Weekly Enrichment Classes
From art to cooking to STEM classes, students participate in a variety of hands-on enrichment classes to support socialization and education.
Parent-Led & Safe Environment
GAP is not a drop-off program. All parents pass a background check, remain on-site and actively participate during co-op days.
Christian-Based, Community Focused
GAP is grounded in Christian values and exists to provide meaningful relationships, shared experiences, and a spirit of service.
Class offerings vary by semester based on volunteer teachers and student interest.
Previous Classes Offered Include: Art Class | Life Skills | Criminal Justice | Cooking | Imagination Station | Career Exploration
The Role of Parents in Our Co-Op
Parents serve at GAP in a variety of ways, including teaching classes, assisting in classrooms, helping with childcare, supporting activities, and serving in other volunteer roles.
Not every parent will teach a class each semester, but all families contribute in some capacity. Our co-op model depends on families serving together, and that shared involvement is an important part of the G.A.P. community.
