Hyalite Community Co-op started several years ago as just a few families getting together to do Classical Christian Education in community. It has since grown over the years to a blossoming community and we've added middle and high school education as the students have grown.

Our focus is academic learning in a community setting where we draw from our Christian heritage as well as the abundance of talent we have in our homeschool families. In order for the co-op to thrive, parents contribute by teaching, co-teaching, or volunteering while the kids learn. We've built a wonderful community over the years and are excited for you to be a part of it!
