Questions families ask
We meet on Thursdays for 28 weeks during the school year, in and around Stillwater, Oklahoma. The co-op day runs from 8:50am to 3:25pm, beginning with Gathering & Living Water and closing after sixth hour.
No. Students take the classes that fit their family’s plan, and you are free to choose only the hours you want. Families who enroll for the full day receive a reduced per-class rate.
Parents are an important part of our community and involvement is encouraged when possible. Whether through teaching, co-teaching, coordinating events, helping in the nursery, or serving in other ways, we believe many hands lighten the load and help our community flourish.
A drop-off option is available for families who need it, at the Drop Off rate.
Tuition is paid directly to each teacher for their time. It does not include curriculum, books, and supply fees, which vary according to the teacher per class. Each class’s overview and syllabus lists exactly what is needed.
Our teachers have the freedom to choose the curriculum and teaching methods that best fit their classes while remaining aligned with our educational philosophy. Many classes use curriculum as a guide but are enriched through discussion, hands-on activities, living books, and other engaging learning experiences.
Several courses list a “Course Curriculum,” but that does not necessarily mean you will need to purchase the textbook for your student. Please reference the documents for each course for a concrete answer.
No. Although we appreciate many aspects of classical education, SWCFA is not affiliated with or modeled after Classical Conversations. We are an eclectic Christian co-op drawing from both Charlotte Mason and Classical methods.
We are not ashamed of the Gospel. As a Christ-centered homeschool co-op, every subject is taught through a biblical worldview, and we seek to keep Christ at the center of our learning, our relationships, and our community.
