Central Valley Homeschool Co-op
We began in September of 2019. We will meet on Fridays in the fall and spring at Greenacres Baptist Church in Spokane Valley. We are a non-denominational Christian co-op and teach all classes from a biblical worldview. You must have a child at least kindergarten age or older to join. We have a nursery and preschool program for younger siblings.
We welcome families with special needs children and desire for our community to be a safe place for them to be. This is not solely a special needs co-op. All children are welcome. This is a parent-led co-op. Parents are required to stay with their children during the hours of co-op. If you feel you cannot commit to attending regularly in the fall and/or spring, we offer an option to join us for only our field trips and events.

Monday Homeschool Network
Our mission is to provide Christ centered support, community, and guidance for homeschooling families who desire accountability and structure that regular class work provides. Students who intend to transition from homeschooling directly to college need experience in meeting class requirements in a timely and competent manner. These classes are not intended to replace homeschooling or to relieve the necessity of parental supervision. Rather, they seek to help provide instruction in areas in which the parent may not have expertise and to provide classroom experience for students who may be unaccustomed to the demands of formal education. Those who participate in MHN have been blessed by the friendships, fellowship, and learning opportunities.

Home school Legal Defense Association
Home School Legal Defense Association is an organization founded by Michael Farris in 1983, who put together a team of Christian, Homeschooling dad, lawyers that act as legislative watch dogs on behalf of home schooling across the country. This may not sound like a big deal, but in fact they are on the front lines for many families that are legally harassed or challenged regarding home schooling. They are largely responsible for helping to get home schooling legal in all 50 states and they continue to defend and protect parental rights to home educate their children.
For $120 annually, you can join HSLDA, which assures you “free” legal counsel or representation if you are ever challenged regarding homeschooling. It’s kind of like Homeschool Insurance. They offer an affordable monthly pay plan, for only $10 a month. I have been home schooling for 17 years, and I wouldn’t home school without them.
Also…their website is full of resources, some even for non-members. And they offer e-lerts, sending important info out when needed. They offer newsletters and helps for all seasons of home schooling including the struggling or special needs learner, and a Homeschooling High School newsletter that is full of tips and advice and nuggets of wisdom, as well as transcript help, and oodles of other resources.
Read their ABOUT page here.
And read WHAT YOU RECEIVE here.
