THINK Co-op

Triangle Homeschoolers

This is the Place Where People are Excellent to Each Other

THINK stands for ‘Triangle Homeschoolers’ Interactive Network of Knowledge’. Our goal in creating a homeschool cooperative is multi-faceted. A homeschool cooperative allows families to regularly interact with other homeschooling families in a more formal setting, mimicking a classroom environment but still allowing for the flexibility and individuality of traditional homeschooling. Our co-op groups offer a variety of classes and opportunities for homeschooled students to experience a group learning environment. Each co-op session is planned with input from the students and parents alike to ensure that the co-op session will be as successful as possible. Our homeschool cooperatives require the participation of both students and parents in order to function. Since parents are teachers and class sizes are small, students get the best of both worlds. We believe that this arrangement provides an optimal environment for students and parents alike. Parents are required to participate in teaching and facilitation of the co-op, and to be on-site unless otherwise noted.

Triangle Homeschoolers hosts three co-op groups: Elementary for students PreK-4th grade; Middle School for students in 5th-7th grades, and High School for students 8th grade through 12th. The grade/age suggestions are flexible; our co-ops are run by committee, and our goal is for each student to be placed in the group that will best meet their needs.

For each co-op group, and each co-op session, there may be registration and tuition fees that apply. They vary by age group, and semester. We strive to keep these fees low and reasonable and any surplus can carry over to the next semester in most cases. The registration fee in most cases is non-refundable to ensure commitment, and tuition should be paid by the due date (which will vary per group).

In order to be considered for participation in our co-op groups, you must be an active member of TH Meet Up for a minimum of 3 months. Members of the TH Meet Up group are eligible to attend a sample day if they would like.

If you’d like to learn more about our co-ops, please join our chat list on Facebook or contact us.

It is my pleasure to introduce to you the final graduating class from Triangle Homeschoolers! Congratulations to Camrynn, Jay, Layla and James, class of 2021!

When I started this group in 2004, I had no idea where the journey would take me; how many friends I would make along the way, how much I would learn... It's been an amazing ride, and I am so grateful to have had all of you along the way to offer your support and guidance, both to me as a mom and teacher, and to my kids as they navigated the academic and social sphere. 

The last few years have been really difficult for a lot of us, between Hurricane Harvey and Covid/quarantine.... but we've persevered, and come out on the other side (mostly) glowing! It's been my pleasure to have been a part of your homeschool journey, and I am so grateful that you all have made this group the amazing, welcoming place it has been. My youngest has graduated, and it is with a grateful heart that I offer my most sincere thanks to each of you for being part of his journey, and for allowing us to be part of yours. 

As I have come to the end of my journey as a homeschooling mom, I will no longer be facilitating this group. Both of the Triangle Homeschoolers main discussion groups on Facebook, the Triangle Homeschoolers website, and all of the co-op groups have now been archived and/or updated to reflect that this group is no longer active. The main Triangle Homeschoolers fan page will remain active, but has been disabled for comments and messaging. 

If you're continuing to homeschool in this area, there are a couple of options for local groups that are inclusive and/or secular: the newly formed Secular Homeschoolers of Southeast Texas, which was started by a group of Triangle Homeschoolers' families to continue a secular and inclusive homeschooling support and activities group in this area, and the L.I.F.E. Homeschool Group, which is inclusive but not strictly secular.

Thank you for being part of this group over the years, and best wishes as you move forward! ❤ 
Congratulations, Class of 2021!!
