What are we about?
Parent Teacher Co-op of Grand Rapids is an academic partnership between home schooling 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 in light of the Christian heritage of the subject 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 the 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 ask every family to donate time to the run the co- op. The time is spent setting up, tearing down, cleaning or facilitating study hall. A fee to offset the cost of hiring someone to fill your time will be charged if you are unable to fulfill your volunteer time.
The school year is 34 weeks beginning September 8th ending May 18th.
Classes meet on Thursdays
Cost is $280 for 1 ½ hour classes.
Payments are made in six equal payments beginning in August to the tutor directly.
Classes are 1 year long. There is no discount for dropping a class.
The PTC is a co-op. All families are required to volunteer at least 4 times during the year (exact amounts will be determined by the number of families taking classes)
All classes (5th – 12th grades) require ½ to 1 ½ hours of homework a day.
All of our tutors are Christians. Each teaches from a Biblical principle and a Biblical world view.
The PTC is run by a group of volunteer parents.
