The Reach Co-Op
Christ Centered
The REACH homeschool co-op is an organization of Christian homeschooling families in the Richardson area and beyond who come together to combine our gifts and talents to provide a variety of learning and social opportunities in a Christ-centered environment for the benefit of our students.
REACH members must be professing Christians who have agreed to lead and manage their respective co-op activities according to biblical Christian principles and to support and reinforce the complete REACH Statement of Faith.
When & Where We Meet
REACH has served the homeschool community in Richardson, TX since 2001. We meet at Central Christian Church located at Campbell & Plano Rd. Our co-op offers academic, supplemental and enrichment classes for all ages. We meet 12-15 Fridays each fall and spring from 12pm-4pm for 3 hours of classes that provide a variety of educational experiences. We also meet outside of our regular co-op time for a variety of optional field trips and a monthly Mom’s Night Out. In the summer we meet for park days and other fun summer activities.
Parents
Our parents are the heartbeat of our co-op. Co-oping is much like homeschooling. It is a lot of work. REACH parents are enthusiastically committed to sharing their knowledge, gifts and talents by teaching a variety of interesting and meaningful classes each semester such as: math, science, literature, writing, art, cooking, Taekwondo, and more. Because our parents do all of our teaching, REACH Co-op is extremely affordable. Parents also assist the teachers in the classroom and they provide all the building preparation and clean up for our co-op on Fridays.
Nursery & Preschool
We offer Nursery and Preschool classes for the siblings of our students. Our classrooms are well equiped with a variety of toys and our moms provide activities for our younger members of co-op. They play with play-do, paint, learn nursery rhymes, sing songs, enjoy an indoor play area, go outside weather permitting in the play yard and make new friends.
