These guidelines apply to in-person co-ops and groups only. For online co-ops and groups, each individual student must purchase their own physical or PDF course and each family must purchase their own copy of each group subject (history and science). The teacher is required to verify purchases for each individual and family. Free PDFs may not be used for online co-ops and groups.
Language Arts – You may make as many copies as you would like using the free PDF files for levels K-8. For the levels that are not free (Preschool, Kindergarten Prep, and all high school courses), you will need to purchase a physical copy (or PDF file) for each child in the group.
K–8 Science – You must purchase one course book per every eight students. If you are teaching a larger group, please purchase one copy per every eight students (0-8 students=1 course, 9-16 students=2 courses, and so on). You must also purchase one PDF or physical copy of the Student Journal or Science Activity Book per student.
High School Science – Each student in the group needs his or her own printed copy of the unit workbooks. The online Wonders texts, which include all the reading and all the videos needed for the course, are on the web-based app. Access to these texts is included with the purchase of the unit workbooks, through codes given in the workbooks. These codes may not be shared outside of your household
Book Studies – You must purchase a physical copy (or PDF file) of the Book Study AND the corresponding reading book for each child in the group.
Math – You may make as many copies as you would like using the free PDF files for levels K-8. If you want a physical copy, you must purchase one course book for each child. The manipulatives may be shared within the group (of eight or fewer students). Please note that it may be difficult to use just one Math Box in a group larger than 4 or 5 students.
Electives (Music Appreciation) — You must purchase a copy for each child in the group. Access to online videos, if applicable, is included with the purchase of the student book, through codes given in the workbooks. These codes may not be shared outside of your household.

If you are teaching a larger group, please purchase one copy per every eight students (0-8 students=1 copy, 9-16 students=2 copies, and so on). You make as many copies of the activity pages as needed.
