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 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 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
donated time.
Parent Teacher Co-op is held at Banner of Christ Church at 1111 68th
St SW, just west off the 131 expressway.
