Q:

A:

No. Crown is a private Christian support group designed to provide support and enrichment for home educating families. Whether you are with a charter, a psp, or file a private affidavit, Crown is for everyone that chooses to home educate!

Q:

A:

We are a collection of families from a variety of denominations. We have a Statement of Faith that members are required to sign in agreement to.  Our purpose is to support each other in our homeschool endeavors while encouraging each other freely with the Word of God. You will find an environment of faith and a Christian worldview in all our co-op classes and activities.

Q:

A:

Click the "Join" button at the top of the Homepage and fill out a membership application. You will receive an email confirming receipt of your application.  Membership approval can take a few days, so if you want to register for classes, do not wait until the night before to apply for membership.

Membership and Wednesday Co-op registration is closed to new families for  2024/2025. Monday High School classes are still open to new families.

Q:

A:

You must join Crown Homeschool Community by completing the membership profile and paying the membership fee ($100). You will also need to pay Wednesday Co-op fees ($130) or the fees for High School class days. You must have a Kindergarten or older student who is participating in classes, remain on campus (for Wednesdays), complete your Signup Genius service jobs, and fulfill your classroom/parent assignments. For Monday High School, there is a $100 fee for your whole family (high school age) to participate in Monday co-op classes.

Q:

A:

We are happy to announce that Membership in Crown for the new school year is only $100 for the entire family, for the year. This fee covers the insurance, website, and other costs to help make Crown the best homeschool ministry support group for your family. 

Wednesday Co-op is optional with your Crown membership.  Co-op has a separate fee of $130 for the entire family, for the year. This fee covers our rent and other minor costs to run co-op as well as events and activities throughout the year. Financial costs are kept at a minimum because the real cost for every member is their commitment, time, and effort to make this cooperative organization run effectively.

Example: Membership + Wednesday Co-op = $230/family/year

Crown High School is optional with your Crown membership. High School Co-op has a separate fee of $100 for your family, for the whole year. Classes are held on Mondays and our schedule is available on our homepage.

Crown Homeschool Community will have dedicated high school (drop off) classes on Mondays beginning fall of 2024. High school will still be a co-op and parents will need to help with some on-campus duties. The school year will begin August 26th and end May 12th. We will have a variety of classes on Mondays and you are welcome to join one class or all day. **If you are a charter school family, charter funds cannot be used to cover fees as we are a Christian organization.** Vendors will accept monthly payments.

The following activities are planned for next year: Meet and greet, monthly high school hangouts, family bunco night, city-wide scavenger hunt, movie nights, as well as access to all Crown member events. We are also planning a college or career fair in the spring.

There may be other optional events that have costs associated with them like field trips, social events, dances, etc. 

**Everyone must be a current member of Crown Homeschool Community to participate in Co-op and High School**  

Q:

A:

Yes! Crown is not a school.  Anyone that homeschools can join, whether you are with a charter school, a psp, or you file your own affidavit.  Even though charter families can join co-op, families cannot use charter funds to pay for classes at Crown. We are a support group that offers all kinds of co-op classes, field trips, moms night out, tween & teen events, and so much more!  This is the place to get connected and join a community of loving and supportive families while you navigate through your homeschool journey. Many solid friendships are formed for both students and parents!

Q:

A:

Co-op meets between 9:15am - 1:55pm

We meet at Calvary Chapel of the Canyons - 8002 Silverado Canyon Rd, Silverado, CA. 92676

Q:

A:

Wednesday Co-op is NOT a drop-off program. A parent must stay on campus and teach or help in classes that they are assigned to. Being a part of a co-operative organization means everyone pulls their own weight to maintain a successful program.

Crown High School IS a drop-off program. We are still a co-op, so parents will still need to be involved in running the co-op and all activities.

Q:

A:

No. Parents (or guardians or homeschooling grandparents) only are allowed to enroll their own children for co-op.

Q:

A:

Yes. We have a nursery and a preschool. Our nursery and preschool classes are for the siblings of children that are in classes at Crown and are Kindergarten age or older. 

Q:

A:

This number fluctuates, however, on average we have approximately 90 families as members of Crown Homeschool Community. 

Q:

A:

Crown offers a wide variety of educational and enrichment classes, from history, science, math, English, and foreign languages to art, music, drama, dance, cooking... and much more.  Please see our curent list of classes on our homepage. 

Q:

A:

You may choose to take one class, or two classes, or stay all day.  You attend and participate in the classes that fit your schedule and needs. 

On Wednesday Co-op, parents teach and help out in classes while their children are in class. If you are there most of the day, you will usually get a little time off to grab some coffee and snacks and socialize with other parents. We also have a dedicated lunch hour for you to connect with other parents and for your kids to fellowship with the other kids.

For Crown High School, you may take as many classes on campus as you like to fit your educational needs.

Q:

A:

We have park days and family days, field trips, tween and teen events, service projects, and mom's night out.  

We have a dedicated lunch hour and prayer/announcements during co-op, as well as fun days throughout the year like our family Hoedown dance, PJs and Pancakes Day, and our annual Open House.
