Co-op Classes
At PEG, we invite you to join us as we guide our families to Prepare, Explore and Grow-
PREPARE for a life of service to God and our neighbors,
EXPLORE the amazing world God has made and
GROW in wisdom by studying the good, the true and the beautiful.
Encouragement: We honor the differing approaches that families use in their home education. PEG is designed to enrich, not fully replace, a family’s educational program. We want PEG to be a day of encouragement for both the children in the classroom and the parents, too.
Family Culture: Promoting family culture is important to us at PEG and we do this by selecting classes and curricula that support learning together whenever possible.
Habits of Mind and Heart: We want to build into all students healthy habits of mind and heart. Healthy habits of mind include curiosity, clarity, creativity, reflection, wonderment and flexibility. Healthy habits of heart include perseverance, humility, service, empathy, integrity and self-governance.
Teamwork: The success of PEG depends on each family’s contribution and commitment to supporting the community as a whole, the leadership, and the vision of the co-op. We want to share the workload based on the gifts and talents of each member in a grace-filled and flexible manner.
Community
Our elementary and middle school programs operate as a cooperative (co-op) with the exception of our middle school history and humanities course which is a paid-for course. we want to share the workload based on the gifts and talents of each member in a grace-filled and flexible manner. Every family plays an important role in the success of this learning venture. At the beginning of each school year, parents work with the Leadership Team to sign up for a fitting role like teaching, helping, and/or other roles to serve the co-op. Many hands make light work, and to prevent anyone else from being overburdened, we expect each role to be filled with a commitment to faithfulness and excellence. We want this group to be a blessing to everyone and a burden to no one.
Any Christian homeschooling family is welcome to send an application to PEG provided:
They have a child in 1st grade or above.
Parents affirm and uphold the Statement of Belief.
Parents read the Parent and Student Handbook and agree to all policies and rules.
Parents agree to add their talents and expertise to PEG. At least 1 parent must fill a role such as teacher or helper.

Cost:
Family Fee: Approximately $300/year
This Family Fee covers the building rent and insurance for the entire year. It fluctuates in cost because of variables like the number of families who join. It can be split into two payments (one paid in July, the other in January).
Supply Fee: $20/student
This fee is paid each semester and goes towards the supplies needed by the teachers to facilitate activities in the classroom. It also covers the cost of dissection specimens.

If you're interested in joining PEG, the first step is to fill out an application. Please be sure to include the appropriate references (we will be calling them). Once all references have been called and we move forward with your application, you will be invited to tour for the day. In addition to the tour, there will be an interview with the PEG Leadership Team where at least the mom and children should be present. If we have already dismissed for the year, you will only need to schedule the interview. Once approved by the Leadership Team, you will be added to our communication forum and join our community! Before applying, please be sure you can agree to the teamwork aspect of PEG.

Each family pays a Family Fee that covers the building rent and insurance for the group. This rate varies based on the number of families that attend PEG, but is generally no more than $300 for the year and can be split into two payments (one in July and the other in January).
There is also an additional supply fee paid per child each semester. We estimate that supply fee for the 2025-26 school year to be $20.
-
PEG does not keep a record of grades for Elementary and Middle School and does not maintain student transcripts. It is the parents’ sole responsibility to maintain grades and transcripts for their own child. If the teacher assigns work, she may grade it, but then return it to the student for the parent to keep in their records. This is not the case for our High School classes.

Yes! We simply ask that families use wisdom on clothing with graphics and refrain from wearing pajama pants as well as clothing that would reveal mid-drift or cleavage.
