Christian Homeschoolers Exchange (CHEX)
Christian Homeschoolers Exchange (CHEX) is a group of homeschool families joining to fellowship, encourage each other in our life’s journeys, and provide excellent group learning opportunities for our children. Member families must be home educating a child that is at least 5 years old, kindergarten age.
There are academic co-ops and supplemental co-ops. Our niche is to provide the best of both worlds: supplemental in the primary grades and academic in the high school years. This enables families who want both to stay together in the co-op setting.

Creative Home Educators' Support Services (CHESS)
CHESS meets for 30 Tuesdays from the end of August until the end of April of each school year. We offer six 55 minute periods each Tuesday, with a lunch break in the middle. Students are then assigned work to complete until they meet again the next week. Classes are offered for 2nd-12th graders. Parental involvement at home is a must to ensure that the student is prepared for in-class learning and participation. We hold classes at Grace Chapel in Elizabethtown.

Agape Homeschool York
Agape Homeschool York is a non-profit homeschool co-op, partnering with parents in providing an environment that facilitates a love of learning and glorifies GOD. We believe the gaining of knowledge and characters development are equally important in accomplishing the well-roundnessness of a child's education. Our extra-curricular classes strive to provide the student with diverse skills beyond the core curriculum and to encourage deeper study. Worship and bible-based learning are purposefully incorporated in each subject, to highlight our GOD that has created all things. The word "Agape" is other-focused sacrificial love, and our passion is to demonstrate that love to the next generation.

Classical Civitas
The mission of Classical Civitas is to serve and support homeschool families by facilitating classical Christian homeschool programs. Our members have access to community, classes, field trips, and educational development opportunities.
As part of a one-day-a-week community day that meets at Meadowcroft Presbyterian Church in West Chester PA, Classical Civitas hosts student classes on Wednesdays that are classical and diverse in nature and taught from a Biblical World View. Primary grades meet for 28 weeks while secondary grades meet for 30 weeks out of the school year. Being a true co-op, every parent has a role and participates in facilitating our community day. We follow a four-year learning cycle in history and science from PreK-12th allowing families to study topics together at home and scale across all ages. We also include the cycle memory work from Claritas Publishing in grades 1st-6th. Memory work is taught at home and then classes are used to extend their knowledge in a fun, creative, integrated, and meaningful way. A shared curriculum is used in some grade-specific classes offered from 3rd-6th. Tutors of these classes guide class discussions and activities as well as assign work for the week. As the lead teachers in their homeschool, parents support their students at home through accountability, scaling, and grading when needed. In 7th through 10th grade, every class is run this way with a shared curriculum guided by a tutor and parental support at home.
