Cornerstone Cooperative is a family-oriented, Christian homeschool co-op in the greater Knoxville area that serves families from Maryville, Seymour, and beyond. They meet for classes on Mondays in Seymour, and some families drive up to an hour to be together.

Cornerstone offers academic and extracurricular classes for kindergarten through high school (with nursery and preschool opportunities for younger siblings). While the co-op is not a replacement for parents as teachers at home, they offer classes that enhance or supplement what students study at home. Each semester, they offer an array of fun and educational classes utilizing parents passion, talents, and abilities.

The co-op is parent-led with no drop-off options - every parent commits to 3 hours of service as a teacher, assistant, hall monitor, nursery worker, or other role. Teens can serve on the worship team during chapel, and families can opt to lead the morning devotionals.

What Parents Say: Families describe it as "just that special" - a close-knit community where like-minded believers support each other in education and life while building lifelong friendships.

Pro tip: Reach out early if you are interested - the community values parent involvement highly, and spaces in classes may fill up.
