Upstate Homeschool Co-op elementary classes meet for 12 weeks in the Fall and 12 weeks in the Spring for a total of 24 weeks. Each class day starts at 9:10am and finishes at 2:30pm.

During the class day, all students have recess where they play either inside in a gym-type facility or outside on a playground. Students must bring a packed lunch and water bottle from home. Some classes also do snacks. There are occasional Chick-fil-A days where parents may purchase food ahead of time for their student for lunch.

Upstate Homeschool Co-op has field trip coordinators who plan field trips and social activities for elementary students and their families throughout the school year. A big hit at the end of the year is Elementary Field Day!

The homeschooling parent will need to purchase all required textbooks and supplies for each enrolled class and should plan to assist their child with the coursework required by their UHC classes. Parents are responsible for planning and teaching all other required subjects at home if they are not taken at Upstate Homeschool Co-op. Parents may choose to purchase and implement whatever curriculum you so choose for courses not taken at UHC.

Parents of students with learning differences, please be sure to read through our Learning Differences information to see what types of accommodations may be available for your student.

Parents are required to serve volunteer hours throughout the school year. The number of volunteer hours you need to complete will depend on which model your child is enrolled in. Please view the Parent Assistant page for more information about this requirement.
