Cognosco: Latin, Verb: to learn
The Mission of Cognosco Homeschool Cooperative is to provide a nurturing community that supports the needs and growth of home educators and their students from early elementary years through high school. We value relationships over activities. We value learning for the sake of curiosity. We value childhood. We choose to be intentional in all that we do and teach.
The Vision of Cognosco Homeschool Cooperative is to create an atmosphere that is relaxed, unhurried, and full of all kinds of learning. We believe that anything worth doing is worth doing well, and we strive to find engaging ways to learn in a social setting. We aim to meet the needs of our Parents and Children equally. Our goal is to be and raise lifelong learners.
The Guiding Principles of this Co-op are:
- Treat others with respect and compassion.
Matthew 22: 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
- Speak only Life
Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
- Use objects and facilities as they are intended.
