The EDGE exists to create a Christ-centered community for those who are called to disciple their children through homeschooling.
We are a homeschooling cooperative (co-op) comprised of Christian families united voluntarily to meet the common goal of discipling and tutoring our children through enrichment education opportunities. We believe it is our responsibility to teach our own children while finding ways to enhance the lives of others that are on the same journey. We strive to be a shining light in the community and be the visible hands and feet of Jesus Christ.
Co-op meets on Tuesdays (August-April) at:
Seymour Heights Christian Church
122 Boyds Creek Hwy
Seymour, TN 37865
