Spring 2012 Enrollment

Enrollment has begun for the Spring 2012 semester!

WHAT IS Friday School?  Friday School is a parent-led home school co-op serving children from birth to 12th grade.  We meet on Fridays from 8:45-12:00 at First Baptist Church for about 12 weeks each semester (fall and spring).  Students in kindergarten and up have three class periods.  All classes are taught by parents who set the fees as low as possible to cover the costs of the class materials/supplies. Class selection varies depending on what parents are willing to teach. Join us for fun, fellowship, and friends!
