| 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 their friend's parents. In order to facilitate this, we ask every family to donate time to 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 the time slot will be charged if you are unable to fulfill your volunteer time. |
