Membership | hlacny

Attend our great co-op and enjoy both academic and enrichment classes! From cooking to dissection, we have 5 six-week sessions of classes on Fridays from September through May near the Liverpool Public Library.

Field trips: adventurous and educational! Often discounted for members, but open to all.

Each year we host a Winter Festival and Science Fair after Winter session, a Geography Fair in the Spring and end the year with an Art Show and Spring Play.
"School Picture" Day!

Access to the HLACNY members page on Facebook (only if you are a co-op member)

Annual membership fee of $35 per family helps defray the cost of space rental, liability insurance and special events.
Co-op members agree to earn a minimum of 1 credit per session they attend. Teaching a class earns 1 credit; co-teaching earns 1/2 credit. If teaching makes you nervous at first, you can always earn 1/2 credits by co-teaching -- assisting the main teacher as needed. If you have infants/young siblings with you, and find it difficult to teach in this season of your homeschooling life, don't worry. Just talk to a Board Member, and we will help you find other ways to help out. Please note that new member families are not expected or encouraged to teach or co-teach during their first session at co-op. We want you to just get a sense of who we are as a community and be available for your children should they need help acclimating.

Being a cooperative, it is expected that members will help with other activities periodically during the year. For example: helping to set up or tear down tables and chairs for a dance or other event.

Keep open communication with the Board: Have questions? Comments? Suggestions? Be ready to let us know how you can help!
