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.
History – You must purchase one copy (physical or PDF file) of every item you plan to use with your group of eight or fewer students. If you are teaching a larger group, please purchase one course for every eight students (0-8 students=1 course, 9-16 students=2 courses, and so on). You may make as many copies of the worksheets, Student Explorers, etc. as needed.
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 per student.
Handwriting, Nature Notebook, Creative Writing Notebooks, Typing — You must purchase a physical copy (or PDF file) for each child in the group.
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-7. 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.
