No. Rooted Together is a homeschool resource center focused on helping you add enrichment classes and social activities to your homeschool week. Homeschool credits are given by the parent for any classes taken with RT. 

Q:

A:

We strive to offer a diverse range of classes for each age group. Our class schedule depends on the availability and teaching interests of our volunteer class leads. In general, our co-op classes are intended primarily as a supplement to your at-home curriculum rather than a complete replacement.

Q:

A:

Yes. Parents are not required to teach but since parent participation is such an important aspect to a successful resource center, we require parents to get involved in the center by volunteering! Parents must remain on-site while their children are attending classes and supervise their children while not in class.

Q:

A:

We are currently able to open registration to new families who have at least one child who is 9 or older along with their younger siblings. Currently, classes are available for middle schoolers down to potty-trained younger siblings as young as two.

Q:

A:

We meet for two 15-week semesters during the school year, following a typical academic calendar with breaks for holidays.

Q:

A:

No, families can choose to attend one or both of our co-op days. Community Days are for members who register to attend those days and sign up to organize one to two community days each semester. 

Q:

A:

There is a $200 annual membership fee per family, which is due at the time of registration.
Tuesday's Community Days are a one-time fee of $10 per learner for the semester.
Each Thursday class requires a one-time $15 supply fee. Since learners take two classes per day, the cost works out to $30 per learner for attending Thursday classes. 

Q:

We meet in a church in Kalama, Washington. 

Q:

A:

We are a Christian and inclusive co-op. While we do not require families to accept our beliefs or statement of faith, they must agree to not contradict them while in our co-op environment. 

Q:

A:

Yes. Rooted Together is a place for homeschool families to build community. Parents will be coordinating multiple field trips and other community-focused events throughout the year during our Community Days on Tuesdays.
We begin our Thursdays with morning meeting which includes simple connection opportunities. We also have a built-in lunch and social time during those days.
