    Fall 2025 Enrollment

  •  Shema Homeschool Co-op's purpose is to educate our children in a Christ-centered environment, providing unique educational opportunities that capitalize on the strengths of the parents involved. Secondly, we seek to foster community among our families and provide support and encouragement to one another on the homeschooling journey, with whatever curriculum and methodology you choose to educate your children. Our co-op mornings consist of four classes for children Kindergarten through 12th grade. We also offer preschool classes and nursery for the siblings of older students!

     We are an "all hands-on deck" co-op. This means all moms (and/or dads, grandma, etc.) are involved and present during co-op each week and will be assigned to be a helper or to teach classes, if they prefer. We do this with everyone’s individual gifting and preferences in mind. 

     There is a $100 co-op contribution per co-op day, per family for each semester. 

    Example: Tuesdays = $100 per family for the semester. Thursdays = $100 per family per semester. If you select to do both Tue. & Thurs., then your cost will be $200 for the entire family for a 14 week semester. 

    These funds go towards anything needed throughout the year such as materials for class projects, paper and cleaning supplies.

    All enrollment forms are subject for review. Enrollment is not based on an approval system, however Shema Homeschool Co-op reserves the right for any reason deemed necessary by the leadership team to decline enrollment on behalf of the best interest of its current members.

    Please Note:
    Tuesdays are currently full for Kindergarten, First Grade and for siblings in Pre-Kindergarten. If you have kids in either grade levels or have siblings that would be placed in Pre-K, we still have limited openings available on Thursdays.

    Due to an abundance of preschoolers, if you only have children below Kindergarten, preschool enrollment is closed at this time and reserved for siblings. We do review preschool enrollment on a case-by-case basis upon availability. 

    Please click the Preschool Inquiry link here for consideration. 

    We see the need in our area for an emphasis on preschool kiddos, so we are considering a play group situation that may funnel into Shema Homeschool co-op.

  • Release & Liability Waiver

    2025/2026
  • West Haven Church has been most gracious in allowing Shema to use their building at no charge to the co-op which keeps our costs low. 

    We strive to keep a safe environment, so there is never a reason to feel that your children will be put in any danger. The facility is also maintained and very safe. We require 2 adults in every classroom at all times. 

    This waiver may come across as intimidating, but we do want to ensure that the church is proctected from being liable for injuries that may have occured to anyone while participating with Shema Homeschool Co-op. Participants include ALL family members from Dads & Grandparents to Toddlers and Infants.

    2025/2026
  •  


    God 

    We believe God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe who has eternally existed in three distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God, also known as the Trinity. 

    Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14

     

    Jesus Christ 

    We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He is co-equal, and pre-existed with the Father. Jesus was conceived by immaculate conception, given birth by a virgin. He lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 

    Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13 

     

    Salvation 

    We believe that all have sinned and that it is by grace you are saved, through faith alone, not by works. Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord for the forgiveness of sin. 

    Genesis 3:15; Exodus 3:14-17; 6:2-8; Matthew 1:21; 4:17; 16:21-26; 27:22-28:6; Luke 1:68-69; 2:28-32; John 1:11-14,29; 3:3-21,36; 5:24; 10:9,28-29; 15:1-16; 17:17; Acts 2:21; 4:12; 15:11; 16:30-31; 17:30-31; 20:32; Romans 1:16-18; 2:4; 3:23-25; 4:3ff.; 5:8-10; 6:1-23; 8:1-18,29-39; 10:9-10,13; 13:11-14; 1 Corinthians 1:18,30; 6:19-20; 15:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Galatians 2:20; 3:13; 5:22-25; 6:15; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-22; 4:11-16; Philippians 2:12-13; Colossians 1:9-22; 3:1ff.; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24;

    2 Timothy 1:12; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 2:1-3; 5:8-9; 9:24-28; 11:1-12:8,14; James 2:14-26; 1 Peter 1:2-23; 1 John 1:6-2:11; Revelation 3:20; 21:1-22:5. 

     

    The Bible 

    We believe the Bible is God's Holy Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Therefore, since it is inspired by God, it is inerrant, the truth without any mixture of error. Anything that contradicts scripture, is therefore, rejected as authoritative. 

    2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160; Proverbs 30:5

     

    Family 

    God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption. 

    Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God’s unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and His church and to provide for the man and the woman in marriage the framework for intimate companionship, the channel of sexual expression according to biblical standards, and the means for procreation of the human race. 

    Children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing and heritage from the Lord. Parents are to demonstrate to their children God’s pattern for marriage. Parents are to teach their children spiritual and moral values and to lead them, through consistent lifestyle examples and loving discipline, to make choices based on biblical truth. Children are to honor and obey their parents. Parents are to raise their children in the knowledge and instruction of the Lord, disciplining and discipling them according to scripture and the glory of God, ultimately showing them and leading them to the gospel, which saves. 

    Genesis 1:26-28; 2:15-25; 3:1-20; Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Joshua 24:15; 1 Samuel 1:26-28; Psalms 51:5; 78:1-8; 127; 128; 139:13-16; Proverbs 1:8; 5:15-20; 6:20-22; 12:4; 13:24; 14:1; 17:6; 18:22; 22:6,15; 23:13-14; 24:3; 29:15,17; 31:10-31; Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; 9:9; Malachi 2:14-16; Matthew 5:31-32; 18:2-5; 19:3-9; Mark 10:6-12; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 7:1-16; Ephesians 5:21-33; 6:1-4; Colossians 3:18-21; 1 Timothy 5:8,14; 2 Timothy 1:3-5; Titus 2:3-5; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Peter 3:1-7.
