About Us
St. Basil's Homeschool Co-op started its first classes in the fall of 2016 with 13 students. This year St. Basil's will begin September 4th, 2019 with 21 students ranging from 1st grade - 12th grade. Classes meet on Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30am to 2:30pm at Holy Nativity Orthodox Church. Tuesdays we begin with Matins and Thursday the students sing the Divine Liturgy.
Classes
St. Basil's is an ecclesiastical co-op with the days beginning with either Orthros or Divine Liturgy. The students study church history, church art, scripture memorization, Greek, church music, writing, and math. Extra-curricular classes are taught in the afternoon; drama, knitting, baseball, etiquette, life skills, first aid and more. Field Days and special events take place occasionally on Fridays.
Our Teachers
A homeschool co-op is group of homeschool families that join to share in the education of their children. Homeschool co-ops offer classes for students and usually require parent participation. Parents are actively involved teaching classes, caring for younger children, or helping with cleaning or other tasks.
Our Priest
Fr. Jason Foster is the priest and pastor of Holy Nativity Orthodox Church. For the last two years Fr. Jason has taught Church history to the elementary and middle school students.
Field Trips
Holy Nativity has a wonderful relationship with Holy Nativity Monastery in Kemp, TX. Our students visit the monastery and sing the liturgy for our sisters.
Play Hard
St. Basil's students work hard and play hard! The kids take full advantage of any break by playing soccer, baseball or swinging in the playground.
