Academy Days

Real kids, real smiles! Academy Days Co-op commemorates 20 years of serving the homeschooling community with the 7th through 12th graders forming a big 20 and all the families celebrating with cake and cupcakes.

Started in Fall 2006 with 24 classes, Academy Days Co-op still meets weekly during the school year for homeschoolers in preschool through high school and now offers 49 classes in subjects such as science labs, literature, foreign languages, history and P.E.

In addition to core subjects, classes in the upcoming school year include such unique subjects as photography, survival skills, homesteading, sign language, health and nutrition, essay writing, personal finance, and study skills for high school and college.

Starting Fall 2026, the co-op will meet at Shoal Creek Baptist Church in Slapout/Holtville on Tuesdays. Visit AcademyDays.com for more information.
