The co-op started in 2021 with a small group of parents who wanted more for their children and were frustrated with the current situation in public schools. We opened our doors to meet a need that was and is continuing to grow in Hampton Roads. We are a church that desires to offer solutions to the problems many face when it comes to educating their children. This co-op is an opportunity for children and parents to work together towards their education goals. Parents volunteer to teach classes and support the homeschool journey each year. The co-op is a place where parents will actively participate in their childs learning and children can get the care and attention they need to excel in their education. The student to teacher ratio is kept low so we can better meet each students educational needs. The co-op typically start from the week after Labor Day until Easter and complete our school year with field trips from May till June.

SEEDS, a ministry of Menchville Baptist Church, is a Christ-centered ministry that endeavors to honor God through support and encouragement for families that are striving to educate their children.

The Orchard Homeschool Fellowship is a community of parents aiming to provide cooperative and biblically grounded learning experiences through classroom environments. The Orchard offers elective classes for enrichment twice a month while the bulk of the homeschool requirements happen at home under parents instruction. Classes meet every 2nd and 4th Friday from September through April from 9 am-12:30 pm.

Homeschool First hopes to aid every member in becoming a whole person, and to that end, we offer community events, so that we may build relationships; academics, so that we may build knowledge of ourselves and our world; and service opportunities, so that we may contribute to the people around us. Our foremost purpose is to serve each other in all things. Our other purposes include offering classes for preschool through high school, field trips, social events for our members, themed “sanity” meetings for moms, and get-togethers for dads. We would like to offer city-wide events such as science fairs, spelling bees, and geography bees.

HOPE2 (Hope Squared) is a Christian co-op made up of like-minded families who have come together to support each other as we educate our children. We strive to be God-honoring in our classes and activities and all classes are presented from a Christian Worldview. Our classes are usually held at Tabernacle Baptist Church on Rt. 3 across from the YMCA and police station. Classes at this location are on Wednesdays and Thursdays, however occasionally a parent may choose to teach at their home or the library, etc. if they need to teach on a different day.

We are a Christian group of moms and teachers, who desire to work cooperatively together training our children using biblical truths. Our teachers want to come alongside parents in their homeschool journey to foster a joy for learning in their children, working together to plant seeds to help them grow in their love for God and His world.
