Joy Homeschool Co-op (JHC) is a  group of homeschool parents, tutors and volunteers passionate about serving our homeschool students, families and community. We endeavor to academically equip students for life while encouraging servant leadership in the church and community as God instructed in Proverbs 22:6.

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
