Honoring Christ's name through our organization

Current Members:Save Those Ink Cartridges!

Please save your empty printer cartridges (ANY BRAND!) and bring them to Friday School. Turn them in to the "Printer Cartridges" box on the check in table. Our co-op will earn money for general supplies by collecting these cartridges.

Interested in joining FCHM?

Would you like to visit a First Class Co-op in action to see if it's right for you? It's not too late to check out our South King Co-op and even join it for this session! To arrange a visit, contact membership coordinator Tiffany Cobb at 206-870-1593.

HOW DO I JOIN CO-OP?

Joining a First-Class Co-op is a two-step process.

Step One: You must begin by becoming a member of First Class Homeschool Ministries. This is a yearly membership and can be done through the main FCHM website. To join, click here.

Step Two: Register for FCHM--South King Co-op. You can do this in person on class registration day or during the year whenever you join our co-op. This co-op fee supports the general operation of Friday School, including administrative costs and scholarships.

Who attends FCCC South King? Families from Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, Covington, Maple Valley, White Center and even Fall City! What city will you add to our nice mix?

Save the Dates: Jan. 8th & 15th:

You won't want to miss these two dates. Friday, January 8th is our annual ice skating trip to Castle Ice in Renton and Friday, January 15th is registration day for Winter/Spring Friday School.

Where does FCHM South King Meet?

FCHM South King meets at Highline Christian Church in Burien. This building is conveniently located right as you enter the city of Burien at the end of 518 (which 405 turns into). For directions, visit their website.

Supporting Homeschool Families is Our Priority

That's right! Our fun, flexible co-op wants to support you in your homeschooling efforts. If you're burnt-out on co-ops or need to be in a place where you can connect with other homeschool parents while your kids take fun, interactive classes, then FCHM South King is for you.

FCHM is dedicated to keeping costs LOW

Everyone at FCHM (both national and local) is dedicated to keeping registration and class fees as low as possible. The fees that are assessed are used for administrative costs, scholarships and building fees, to name a few things.

The FCHM basic class fee is only $4.00 per class. That's for the entire session, NOT $4.00 a week! Some classes have a supplemental materials fee, but we keep that manageable, usually between $2-15; some classes have no materials fee at all. And because we're a true co-op in every sense of the word, our "teachers" are parent-volunteers, not paid teachers, which helps keep the cost down and the commitment up!

Questions?
Contact Lanae at 206.242.4924 or connact our email: FCHMSouthKing@gmail.com.

Classes are filled on a first-come-first-served basis. Parents who teach register early and are guaranteed first priority as classes fill!

We're excited about what God is doing through the ministry of First Class and can't wait to have you join us!

SPREAD THE WORD!

First Class is always open for enrollment. Unlike some co-ops that require registration months in advance, First Class is FLEXIBLE and UNDERSTANDING. We realize that some families are not ready to register for co-op until closer to the start of the session; that's fine with us. Start telling your friends about the different co-op you've found: the one that cares about YOU!
