"Kids & learning go together like peanut butter & jelly"

The Peanut Butter and Jelly Co-op Vision and Mission

Peanut Butter and Jelly is a secular, inclusive group of homeschooling families that gather together to create a community of strong relationships and support home education by hosting fun, engaging, and enriching classes. 

Values of Peanut Butter and Jelly Co-op

• Community: It is the desire of this co-op to provide learning and friendship opportunities through weekly classes and field trips. 

• Teamwork: The success of PB&J depends on each family's contribution and commitment to supporting the community as a whole, as well as the leadership of the co-op.   

• Enrichment: PB&J is not a school.  PB&J is not a drop off.  PB&J is designed to enrich rather than replace a family's homeschool education program. 

• Education: PB&J will focus on hands on enrichment project based learning.  

Enrichment Classes

PB&J co-op offers collaborative, hands-on, project based enrichment style classes from ages six to fifteen.  Siblings are welcome but are classes are geared toward school age.  At PB&J we believe that all ages work and learn best together.  While our age group of 8-16 year old's will divide off and focus on more age appropriate activities in Art, STEM and electives. PB&J still values a learning environment where kids are all together.  Afterall that is what Homeschooling is about.  Students that attend PB&J co-op will be guided in their enrichment learning by parent volunteers in the following categories: Art, STEM, and Electives.  Actual class offerings vary from semester to semester but all classes fall under these categories and adhere to PB&J Co-op's vision for enrichment-style learning.
