Membership Process
Character Co-op has a process for families to become members to ensure everyone involved receives the best fit for their needs.
Step One
Fill out the Next Steps form. We want to know more about your family and your family's needs.
Step Two
Attend an Open House. We request that each family visit Character on a co-op day before applying.
Step Three
Get to know us better! Read over the statement of faith, teacher guidelines, family covenant, and financial agreement .
If you agree with all of them, AND you've attended an Open House, please move on to the next step.
Step Four
If you've attended an Open House and would like to take the next step, fill out the application.
Step Five
Once we've reviewed your application, we will set up an interview with you and the co-op board. We usually conduct interviews on Thursdays during co-op from 9-10am. A non-refundable $25 deposit is due at this time. (If you move forward in membership, this will go towards your first month's payment.)
Step Six
Decisions will be made in mid-February regarding membership, and at that time we will notify all families who have applied and interviewed. A deposit of half of the membership fee will be due to reserve a spot in the co-op.

I liked making biomes in science class, learning about sharks and doing presentations.
