In this video, I’m sharing where my head and heart are at with the idea of joining a homeschool co-op for the 2025–26 year. I don’t have a ton of time left to decide, so I wanted to sit down and talk through it honestly—what sounds really good, what gives me pause, and what I’m praying through as I think about what’s best for our family. If you’ve ever felt torn because a co-op can be both exciting and a lot, this one is for you. I walk through my personal pros and cons, especially with three girls in different stages (13, 11, and 7). I’m thinking about things like community, accountability, and opportunities I can’t easily recreate at home—while also weighing the cost, the time commitment, the schedule pressure, and how it could affect the rhythm we already have. I also share why I’m asking for input, because I know co-ops can look very different depending on the group. I’d love for you to tell me in the comments how co-ops have worked for your family (or why they didn’t).
