TriCity Impact Group - Oklahoma

The TriCity Impact Group is a group of families in the Tri City area of Oklahoma that educate their children from home. Impact has members from Newcastle, Blanchard, and surrounding areas. Impact is a parent-driven group. What we "do" depends largely on the interests and contributions of families. Field trips, holiday events, geography fair, mystery of history, mother/son event, father/daughter event, game nights, and Mom's Night Out are some of the activities Impact members put together. There is an annual $15/family fee to participate in the Impact group. Impact Co-op (cooperative learning environment) meets weekly on Mondays at Woodland Hills Baptist Church in Newcastle. Classes are tutored by parents. There are 3 classes, each an hour in length, in addition to an hour lunch/recess. There are 14 weeks in each semester. Classes in the past have included: cooking, astronomy, keyboarding, general science, cultures of the world, presidents, etc. There is an additional $25/semester family fee for participation in Co-op. This fee goes to general co-op supplies, cleaning supplies, paper products for events, special event needs, etc. There are also class fees (usually small) to cover special supplies used in the class.
