Describe your homeschooling journey. How long have you been homeschooling? Why did you choose to homeschool your children?

What is your homeschooling philosophy/teaching style (traditional, unschooling, Waldorf, etc.)?

Have you had any other experience with homeschool groups? If so, what were those experiences like?

Why do you want to join NWI Learning Community? What are you hoping to achieve in joining our community?

Do you know any current members of the community? If so, who? In what capacity do you know the family?

In our co-op, we require each family to teach one class or assist in two classes every semester. What class and/or class topic would you like to teach?

What age group(s) do you prefer to teach? (Check all that apply.)

List the supplemental classes/subjects you would like NWI Learning Community to provide for your children. (This serves as a suggestion for our academic coordinator of classes we can add to our idea bank for future use.)

What areas of expertise, experience, and/or education do you bring to NWI Learning Community?

How did you hear about the co-op?

Do you have any questions?

Our semester tuition is currently $100 per family. This tuition covers the cost of our building rental and purchase of necessary community supplies.

Please indicate if you acknowledge that tuition must be paid to maintain membership within two weeks of your family's approval to join the community.

Class fees vary and are set by individual teachers. Average cost per student per semester is approximately $150 but the total cost will depend on the classes your child(ren) enroll in. Class fees are due on the date listed on the calendar. Class fees are disbursed directly to teachers once all fees are collected. Class fees are used to purchase materials for specific classes; no families are paid to teach in the co-op and are all volunteers.

Please acknowledge you understand how class fees work.

We are a secular co-op. While we have families from all different religious and non-religious backgrounds, we do not use prayer, teach from the Bible, or have religious classes.

Please indicate that you understand we are a secular group.

Full membership requires attending 75% of classes throughout the semester.

Please indicate that you understand this policy.

I understand that this application is not a guarantee that my family has a spot next semester in the co-op and will be offered a spot if there is one available.
