FAQ
What's the difference between becoming a SCHEF member and being part of the Co-op?
You do not have to be a part of the Co-op to be a member of SCHEF. When you pay to register your family as members of SCHEF, you are entitled to all the benefits such as graduation, prom, field day, and any other SCHEF event not specific to the Co-op. You do have to be a member of SCHEF to be part of the Co-op so you must also register your family with the Co-op (this is a separate fee.)
Where and how often does SCHEF meet?
SCHEF meets weekly on Mondays during the school year at Redemption Church in Lacombe for student instruction by the teachers. Assignments are given during that time to be completed throughout the week.
Does a student have to enroll for a full day of classes to be part of the SCHEF Co-op?
A student may be registered for as many or as few classes as they would like. There is a general registration fee per family to be part of the Co-op and then a per class fee paid directly to the teacher for each class.
What does a typical Co-op day look like?
Co-op classes are ongoing from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. with a break for lunch from 11:30 a.m. - noon. A standard class is 50 minutes long and science classes are 90 minutes long. Students do not have to take classes for the whole day. If they have breaks between classes, a study hall room is provided for them at a charge per student/per hour/per semester.
