Gulf Coast Christian Home Scholars (GCCHS)
About
GCCHS is a volunteer-based, nonprofit homeschool support group formed in 2001 by a small group of homeschooling moms. It welcomes families with at least one child (age 4+) in PreK-12th grade, regardless of background. The group focuses on enriching social and educational experiences through events and information sharing, and is not a co-op or hybrid school. Membership year runs August through July, with registration for 2026/2027 open. Contact: GCCHS P.O. Box 58345, Webster, TX 77598-8345, [email protected].

Frequently asked questions
How does a homeschool co-op work?
Families enroll their kids in a shared schedule, usually one or two days a week, where parents or hired teachers lead classes by subject or grade band. Kids get the social and academic benefits of a classroom setting while parents keep the flexibility of homeschooling the rest of the week.
How do I find co-ops for homeschooling?
Word of mouth and Facebook groups are how most Houston families still find co-ops, which is exactly why a searchable, filterable directory helps: you can filter by area, faith tradition, schedule, and age range instead of scrolling years of old posts.
Do homeschool co-ops make money?
Most Houston co-ops are run by volunteer parents and charge fees that cover facility rental, supplies, and any hired teachers, rather than operating as a for-profit business. Larger, more established co-ops sometimes pay a small staff, but the fee structure is typically cost-covering, not profit-driven.
