The Albuquerque Homeschool Co-op is proud to announce our new baby!!
"Tweens and Teens" or "TnT" is a new and exciting addition to our Co-op! With the growing population of homeschooled kids, we decided that it was time to design a section specifically for the needs of our older kids. TnT is designed to meet the educational and social needs of kids ages 10-18. Classes currently in the works are designed to promote "real world" learning and experiences. Currently in the works are the following...

The Basics of Business
Creative Writing
American Government
The U.S Economy
Financial Basics
Math with a Twist

These classes will include field trips, speakers and some really cool projects! For example, the Creative Writing class will focus on fiction with a field trip to a local publisher to see what happens to a story after it's written. There will also be a workshop on story illustration. There will be several projects in which the kids will work in groups as well as individually.

In addition, we've added a forum page just for our kids where they can go to ask questions, work on projects together and share ideas. But that's not all.....

Because the social aspects of this age are just as important, we are setting up a monthly game night, a monthly movie night and several other social activities. It is our hope that with enough participation from the homeschool community, we will eventually be able to offer dances, ice cream socials and just possibly....An Annual Prom!?! Most of our events will be available to those not currently members of our co-op. We will offer everything up to our membership first, with the remaining space available to others.
