Mid-Ohio Christian Co-op

Mid-Ohio Christian Co-op A home school community of students and families who desire to glorify God by uplifting, encouraging, Philippians 4:8 NASB

Launched with the vision of a place for opportunities for Excellence in Learning could take place, and formed with a Christian foundation, our group has grown from a small association of families to a 501c3, Non-Profit Home Education Support Group and Community partner in Home Education. This year, we served 370 homeschooling students in our community through co-op classes and events. In addition,

we reached over 850 families with homeschooling resources, support, and training sessions to help them in their homeschooling. The past year has presented unique challenges and a 600% growth in homeschooling across the country. Our community and financial partners enabled us to meet this challenge and help many first-time homeschooling families to educate their children at home. Their donations greatly impacted our community and directly supported parents and families during this difficult time. On behalf of these local families, THANK YOU for your support! Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

The results are in. 😂🐢

Apparently, if a turtle loses its shell, it is officially homeless.

But we would like to acknowledge the passionate write-in campaigns for:

😂 “It’s missing its dignity.”
💀 “It would die!”
🤨 “Isn’t there zoology here?”
✏️ And the lone brave soul who simply voted “both.”

We asked a question. MOCC delivered answers, commentary, scientific criticism, and an existential crisis.

Honestly, 10/10. Question of the Day will return. 😂

And just like that, MOCC is back! 💙⚔️

Today we kicked off another year together, and it was so good to see our halls full again! New classes, new friendships, familiar faces, lots of hugs, and just a little first-day chaos. 😉

From finding classrooms and catching up with friends to settling into classes and debating the truly important questions of life (apparently a shell-less turtle has lost its dignity 😂), we had a pretty great first day.

Thank you to all of our parents, teachers, volunteers, and students who jumped in and helped everything come together today. We know the first week is always a little hectic, and we're grateful for this community and excited to see what this year brings!

Welcome back, Knights! 💙🤍⚔️ Thank you for a wonderful day!

🌟 Teacher Spotlight: Sabrina Schlabach 🌟

We’re so thankful for Sabrina and the flexibility and experience she brings to MOCC!

This fall, Sabrina will be teaching Cursive, Hopping Through History, The Nature Around Us, and Shake Your Sillies Out. She has been homeschooling for 23 years and is beginning her third year with MOCC.

Sabrina’s favorite co-op moment is teaching nature class. Her co-op day fuel? Prayer and a granola bar. Her classroom superpower is going with the flow!

Students can expect Sabrina’s classes to be a little bit of everything, or at least that’s what she hopes!

One verse that encourages her is:

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ has also forgiven you.”
Ephesians 4:32

This year, Sabrina is especially looking forward to watching her children grow alongside their friends at co-op.

We’re so grateful for teachers like Sabrina who help make MOCC such a special community. 💙

"As we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone."Galatians 6:10

Every week gives us opportunities to do good.

A kind word, a helping hand, a shared resource, a patient response, a warm welcome, or a simple act of service can make a real difference in someone's day.

At MOCC, we want our homeschool village to be a place where doing good becomes part of who we are together.

Join us this Sunday as we reflect on doing good to everyone as we have opportunity.

🌟 Teacher Spotlight: Mary Zink 🌟

We’re so thankful for Mary and the warmth she brings to MOCC!

This fall, Mary will be teaching Basic Cooking, Snack Time, and Sewing. She has been homeschooling since 2015 and has been part of MOCC since 2022.

Mary’s favorite co-op moments are anytime her kids laugh or learn something new. Her co-op day personality? “Where is my coffee?” Her classroom superpower is encouraging students and going with the flow. And her co-op day fuel is coffee, obviously!

Students can expect Mary’s classes to be hands-on, creative, fun, a little loud in a good way, and organized-ish.

One reminder that encourages her is:

“Just do the next thing.”

This year, Mary is especially looking forward to watching the kids have fun while they learn!

We’re so grateful for teachers like Mary who help make MOCC such a special community. 💙

🌟 Teacher Spotlight: Leigha Hickman 🌟

We’re so thankful for Leigha and the thoughtful, caring spirit she brings to MOCC!

This fall, Leigha will be teaching Art History, Global Studies, and Middle School Zoology. She has been homeschooling for eight years and has been part of MOCC for four years.

Leigha’s favorite co-op moment is the start of the day, when the coffee is hitting, the air is crisp, and the kids are giving their best focus. Her co-op day personality? Slightly caffeinated. Her classroom superpower is giving every student a chance to share and connect with the lesson topic.

Students can expect Leigha’s classes to be thought-provoking!

One reminder that encourages her is:

“Kids don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.”

This year, Leigha is especially looking forward to cultivating a love of learning with older students!

We’re so grateful for teachers like Leigha who help make MOCC such a special community. 💙

"Let us not grow weary of doing good."Galatians 6:9

Doing good can take endurance.

Serving, teaching, parenting, encouraging, showing up, and helping again and again can feel tiring at times. But Scripture reminds us not to grow weary in doing good.

The small seeds of faithful service matter. In due season, God brings growth in ways we may not always see right away.

Join us this Sunday as we reflect on not growing weary in doing good.

🌟 Teacher Spotlight: Shannon Hughes 🌟

We’re so thankful for Shannon and the joy she brings to MOCC!

This fall, Shannon will be teaching Adventure Book Club and High School Book Club. She began homeschooling in 2019 and joined co-op in 2020.

Shannon’s favorite co-op moments are teaching classes and chatting with other moms. Her co-op day personality? “Where is my coffee?” Her classroom superpower is making kids laugh, turning chaos into fun, and going with the flow.

Students can expect her classes to be fun, thought-provoking, full of discussion, a little loud in a good way, and organized-ish!

One verse that encourages her is:

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
2 Timothy 4:7

This year, Shannon is especially looking forward to teaching book club, enjoying each book slowly, seeing creative end-of-book projects, and watching students build friendships through good stories.

We’re so grateful for teachers like Shannon who help make MOCC such a special community. 💙
