Each gathering begins with a peaceful, prayerful rhythm that helps children grow familiar with the Divine Liturgy and the life of the Church.
Opening Prayer
We start by quieting our hearts before God.
Hymns & Prayers of the Divine Liturgy
Children learn the fixed hymns of the Liturgy in their proper order — the Beatitudes, Entrance Hymn, Trisagion, Cherubic Hymn, Creed, and more.
Gospel Preview & Lesson
A member of the clergy shares insight into the upcoming Sunday Gospel
Saint of the Week
We read the saint’s life, discuss their virtues, and do a hands-on activity to help the teaching come alive.
Orthodox Rhythm Closing Prayers & Icon Veneration
We end with Psalm 50/51, the dismissal prayer, and venerating icons.
After the Morning Orthodox Rhythm, families move into a flexible learning block where chapters support their community and homeschool goals.
Freedom in Homeschool Style
Families remain completely free in how they homeschool. The co-op provides fellowship and collaboration—a place where parents can share ideas, explore curriculum options, joint-plan activities and support one another in their children’s education.
Parent-Led Participation
Families choose what comes next - relaxed fellowship, field trips, structured lessons, enrichment opportunities (guest speakers, experiments, wildlife presentations, creative projects, etc.).
Chapter-Provided Enrichment
Chapters may offer optional enrichment such as science demonstrations, cultural presentations, nature studies, hands-on projects, etc. Parents decide freely whether these chapter activities fit their family’s homeschool plans.
