We are a group of homeschooling families that live on or near the Key Peninsula. Our main goal is to provide our children with consistent and fundamental socialization opportunities with other local homeschool families through lessons, field trips, and plenty of free play time. We acknowledge and honor that each family’s homeschooling approach is unique, and our desire is to support and encourage one another on this journey. Our group does not promote any one creed, religion, social movement, or political affiliation. Our focus is on our children and giving them the opportunity to learn, play, and work together as they grow, and we believe the best way to do this is to lead by example and to maintain a group culture that will help us raise our children to be kind, strong, and generous human beings with a love of learning.

Communication:

Our main form of communication will be through our website, www.kphomeschoolcoop.com, and our email address, [email protected]. The best way to contact us directly is through email. We also have a group FaceBook page and GroupMe that we communicate through. If you want to join either of those, please speak to one of our co-op members.

Parent Expectations:

All parents are expected to remain onsite and in one of the classrooms during class time, and in the general play area with the children during free play time. Parents do not need to accompany middle school children to class (unless volunteering there), but do need to remain onsite.
We ask that during class time, side conversations between parents be kept to a minimum in order to not distract from the lesson.
Parents are expected to help in the classroom. This could include helping the teachers with activities, assisting your own children, or simply setting the example of respectful attention to the teachers.

Student and Parent Expectations:

We are extremely grateful to have the use of the Civic Center. Please be respectful to all property there, and leave the building and grounds in as good of condition as you found them.
During class time, be respectful of the teacher and volunteers, and give your attention to them.
Our play time after class is a time for kids and parents to have free time together, but is not specifically overseen by the co-op and is open to the public. Please treat this time with the general practices of “playground rules”. Enjoy yourselves, but be respectful and strive to work out any disagreements between individuals and families.

Academic Calendar:

The 2025-26 school year will be broken into two semesters, each with 16 weeks.

Fall semester: September 3 - December 17 (we will meet the day before Thanksgiving)
Spring semester: January 14-May 13 (Feb 18th will be off for winter break, April 15th for Spring break)

Each term will consist of 13 classes, one career day/party day, one presentation day, and one field trip day. Presentation days give students the opportunity to present to the group on the semester unit topic.

We also meet during the summer months for play time at various parks in the area. There is no registration required for summer meet-ups, and the only cost will be if the place we are visiting has an entry fee.

Any updates or changes to the planned calendar will be emailed to families and posted on our website.

Classes

We currently offer classes for three age groups. Please register your child for the appropriate age group. Each class will be studying the same topic for the semester, but the lessons will be age-appropriate.

Kits - K-2nd grade

Cubs - 3rd-5th grade

Explorers - 6th-8th grade

Fees

There is a $25 registration fee per family
For the 12:30-1:30 p.m. main class period, the class fees will be $80/child for the school year, or $45/child per semester.
The costs for the 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. middle school classes are different, so please be sure to verify the class costs in the class descriptions.
We currently only accept payment via cash, or Venmo if needed. We will provide receipts for payment. We have three dates set up during the summer when you can make your payment in person for the semester or year: July 23rd at Joemma Beach, July 30th at Gateway Park, and August 15th at the Key Peninsula Civic Center. All registration and class fees need to be paid prior to the start of the term to guarantee your child's spot in the class(es).
Field trip fees will be a separate cost. Receipts will also be provided for field trip payments.
Class and field trip fees each term are non-refundable. We understand that due to illness and scheduling conflicts, your child(ren) may not be able to attend every class or field trip, but there are no refunds for missed classes or field trips.

Photo Consent

We take photos of our activities to create a yearbook. Some of these photos may also be used on our website or Facebook page. If you do not wish to have your child in any of the photos that are taken, please pull them aside during photo time.

I have read and understand the above information and agree to the terms of involvement in the KeyPen Homeschool Co-op. If there are any concerns or conflicts arising between either myself or my children with other members of the co-op, I agree to respectfully work together to resolve any conflicts. I also understand that families may be asked to leave the group if they do not strive to uphold the mission statement.

I also understand that the KeyPen Homeschool Co-op is run by a group of volunteers. I will do my part to help make sure that the co-op runs successfully for all of our children.
