The Elective Collective
The Elective Collective (TEC) is a Christian, performing arts-focused home education co-op that meets in the New Albany area. It is open to all families whose oldest child has reached the age of required notification (six years old by Sept. 30). Preference is given to teens and older children, since there is a deep need for wholesome offerings for that age group in our community.
The Elective Collective meets Tuesdays for 12 weeks in the fall and 12 weeks in the spring. We arrive by 9:15 a.m. for quick announcements and prayer, then begin classes at 9:30 a.m. There are five one-hour class sessions during the day, plus a one-hour lunch. At 3:30 p.m., we pitch in to quickly leave the building nicer than we found it.
Our students lead the clean-up process with the assistance of their parents. This is an excellent way for our kids to contribute and to become an integral part of the process.
We meet in a welcoming, modern building in the New Albany area that offers ample room and plenty of outdoor space. For the privacy of our families and the convenience of our host organization, the specific location is only shared with member families.
