KACHEA CO-OP

(Kingsport Area Christian Home Education Association Co-Operative)

Homeschooling Our Children for the Glory of God

Who We Are

At KACHEA Co-Op we strive to honor God, serve one another, and come together to teach our children and have fellowship in a group setting. We offer classes from Kindergarten through high school graduation. Families with younger siblings are welcome, as we also offer nursery and Pre-K accommodations.

We are a parent-led and parent-staffed Co-Op. All members of KACHEA Co-Op commit to weekly attendance with their children and active participation to make Co-Op a success. The one exception to weekly participation is open exclusively to parents with only high school aged students, for an additional fee. Details are available on the registration page.
