Mission 

The Oratory of Saints Gregory and Augustine Homeschool Co-op strengthens the bonds of our Catholic homeschool families with support and community rooted in Jesus Christ by emphasizing the True, Good and Beautiful and preserving the cherished traditions of our Catholic Faith. 

Our Cooperative School

Our co-op is a beautiful combination of all the best qualities of a homeschool and a regular school. We provide students with a structured opportunity for holistic development, a variety of classes, positive and inspiring interactions with teachers, group work, a faith-based environment, social opportunities, and a strong Catholic community while also striving to provide individualized support and to maintain flexibility as well as mutual respect with parents, whom we recognize as the primary educators of their children.

History

The Oratory of Ss. Gregory and Augustine Homeschool Co-op was founded in September 2018 to provide an atmosphere to pray together in a traditional Catholic setting while educating our children in wisdom and virtue. Through the Holy Mass, rosary, and co-op classes, we hope to cultivate truth, goodness, and beauty in the hearts of the students who attend.

We are so blessed to be able to have our co-op in our parish. The co-op is fairly self-sufficient, supported by our parents and our parish; however, there are a few items on our wish list that are wanted/needed by our teachers.
