What are we about?
Parent Teacher Co-op of Grand Rapids is an academic partnership between
homesschooling parents and teachers. It is our goal to offer tutored classes
with a high standard of moral and academic excellence based on Biblical
principles. In order to achieve this goal, challenging academic lessons along
with Biblical applications will be presented to the student each week. The
student is required to complete work at home and keep an organized notebook
of the work completed.
At PTC, we want every parent to have the blessing of knowing their student's
friends and student's parents. In order to facilitate this, we are asking for every
family to donate time in the running of the co-op. A fee to offset the cost of
hiring someone to fill your time will be allocated if you are unable to fulfill
your donated time.
Parent Teacher Co-op is held at Banner of Christ Church at 1111 68th
St SW, just west off the 131 expressway.
