Q:

A:

Yes, the Statement of Faith can be found here. We are a Christ-centered cooperative with like-minded families.

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Philippians 4:1-2

Q:

A:

Yes, we are cooperative and all members volunteer. We want to get to know you and the best way to do this is by serving together.  If you have children who are not in classes they are welcome to come with you and help.  The volunteer commitment time is 8 service points which can be found in the newsletter under the Sign-Up-Genius link. There are lots of options and ways to serve and we have done our best to make this flexible and allow you to choose what works best for your schedule. Please keep in mind this is the minimum commitment, and many of our members choose to serve over and above what is required.

We do not have an opt-out fee. We are a cooperative that builds community.

Q:

A:

Class registration and fees are listed on our website under the "Class Registration" tab. This tab is available when registration is open. Please click on the class to find the information. (Fee is listed to the far right)

Our Student Commitment Fee is also located on the first page of the website when we are accepting new members. 

Our existing members receive a discount on our Student Commitment Fee (SCF) as well as registration for classes. 

Q:

A:

Although we are a cooperative you are not required to teach, but we do have members who teach. If you are not teaching we would love for you to use your gifts and talents in various areas of your choice to serve our families. As a member, you are welcome to stay on campus and build community or come and go as needed.  We are a community and want to support your homeschool efforts and come alongside you.

Registration cost is the cost for each member for a specific class. 

Materials Fee is the cost for materials for a specific class.  

We do not have a family fee to help offset the cost for families with multiple children.

A:

No, we do not have preschool classes. There are lots of class opportunities for preschool classes throughout the Greenville area We do have park days for preschoolers and they are welcome to participate in Crestview activities. 

Q:

A:

Our cooperative classes are designed to complement, not replace, parents’ efforts to homeschool their children, and are taught from a biblical worldview. We offer enrichment and academic classes for Kindergarten through High School, available in both collegiate style and à la carte formats. This means families can choose as few or as many classes as they need.

Many of our classes offer a full-based curriculum, which includes activities, text, media, assignments, and projects, all from a biblical perspective. While some classes are based on Classical, Charlotte Mason, or Unit studies foundations, all courses emphasize experiential learning. Each class is unique and has different requirements, which are detailed in the course descriptions on our website under the “Registration” tab. Here, you can also find information on required materials, curriculum, and class costs.

Q:

A:

Yes, see Crestview Christian Homeschool Academy Cooperative Handbook Code of Community Conduct Policies & Guidelines under the CCA Handbook tab on the website from the homepage. 

Q:

A:

Crestview Christian Homeschool Cooperative is a 501(c)3 non-profit homeschool ministry. It is a board-driven and board-directed cooperative. 

Q:

A:

Crestview has never had one director since its inception, but rather a Shepherding Board of Directors (SBOD). These directors are all volunteers and serve the Lord by supporting the cooperative ministry. The directors of the cooperative oversee the mission, purpose, members, and administration and approve all functions of the cooperative. 

The SBOD articulates the mission and develops strategies to achieve it. The SBOD monitors and holds all leaders accountable for doing their job. This is done by leading by example, then delegating and monitoring. The SBOD oversees and ensures good stewardship of resources, and maintains financial accountability and solvency which is done by approving and overseeing the annual budget. The SBOD also ensures legal compliance, obeying laws, making good judgments, setting aside personal interests, and acting in the best interest of ministering to our members. The SBOD ensures there are no conflicts of interest and ensures full disclosure of conflicts between outside organizations.  At Crestview, we are a board-driven and board-directed cooperative. 

Shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness; nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. 1 Peter 5:2-4

Take a moment to thank and encourage our directors to press on.
