If no group here fits, the co-op starter pack comes with it: 12 pages from the Starpath Library for starting a small Waldorf-inspired co-op of your own. They include an agenda for the first meeting and a first term, week by week. Leave your email and you’ll be on the list for both. You can stop the emails any time.

Georgia sets a real target that most states do not: 180 days a year, worked out as the equivalent of four and a half hours a day. That makes the arithmetic of a co-op more concrete here than elsewhere. A weekly co-op running a fourteen week term is fourteen of those days, and it is normal to count them.

The Atlanta metro carries most of the state's co-op activity, and there is enough of it that families often have a genuine choice between a large structured co-op and a small informal one. Outside the metro the picture thins quickly, and in much of south Georgia the nearest group is a drive. The listings are grouped by town so that is visible rather than hidden behind a state-wide count.

Does co-op time count toward Georgia requirements?

Georgia expects 180 days (Equivalent of 4.5 hours per day). A day at a co-op is a day your child spent learning, so it counts toward that the same as a day at home. Georgia does ask you to keep records, so a co-op day is worth noting in whatever you keep.

Questions families ask about Georgia homeschool co-ops

How do homeschool co-ops work?

Families agree to meet on the same day each week during term, usually in a church hall, a community centre or a hired room. Parents take turns teaching, so a parent who is confident with science takes the science class and someone else takes art. Most co-ops expect a parent to stay on site rather than drop off, and most ask every family to contribute in some way, whether that is teaching, setting up or helping in a room. A term runs eight to fourteen weeks, and places are usually allocated before the term starts rather than week by week.

How much does a homeschool co-op cost?

It depends on what the co-op has to pay for. A group meeting in a member's home with borrowed materials can run on almost nothing, while a co-op hiring a hall and paying outside tutors for a few classes costs real money per term. The fees each group publishes are listed on this page where we have them, taken from the group's own website, so you can compare rather than guess. Ask what the fee covers before you commit: some cover the hall only, and materials are extra.

Do co-op days count toward Georgia's 180 days?

Yes. Georgia asks for 180 days of instruction at the equivalent of four and a half hours a day, and a day spent learning at a co-op is a day of instruction. Record it in your attendance the same way you record a day at home.

Does Georgia give money for homeschooling?

Only in narrow circumstances. The Georgia Promise Scholarship exists but eligibility is limited rather than universal, and most homeschooling families do not qualify. Do not plan a co-op budget around it without checking your own eligibility first.

Can you charge for a homeschool co-op?

Most co-ops do, because a hall costs money and so do materials. What separates a co-op from a business is usually that the fee covers costs rather than paying the parents who teach. Some co-ops are incorporated as non-profits and some are an informal group with a shared bank account. If you are starting one and planning to pay teachers, that is a different undertaking with tax and insurance questions attached, and it is worth taking advice before the first term rather than after it.

Are there Christian homeschool co-ops in Georgia?

Yes. 8 of the 14 groups listed here say on their own websites that they’re Christian, among them EPIC Homeschool Network, B.E.E.C.H. Homeschool Community, C.H.E.E.R. Homeschool and 5 more. 2 say they’re secular. 4 of the 14 don’t say either way on their websites, so ask them before you join.
