Co-ops are great for group classes, electives, and community — but core academics still need to happen at home. See how families use Lumi as the shared daily foundation between co-op days.

Most co-ops meet once or twice a week, leaving the rest of the week for core academics at home.
Co-op schedules vary week to week — field trips, holidays, guest speakers. Lumi's self-paced, auto-scheduled lessons keep core math and reading skills progressing consistently regardless of what the co-op calendar looks like that week.
Co-op groups often mix ages and levels. Lumi's flat pricing covers up to 8 kids on one account, with each child's lessons adapting independently — useful for families juggling multiple ages across co-op groupings.
Some co-ops (and most states) want documentation of academic progress. Lumi's automatic attendance logs and report cards provide that proof without extra paperwork on your end.
Co-op day (e.g. Wednesday): group classes, electives, field trips, social time. Other four days: 45–60 minutes on Lumi covering math, reading, science, and social studies, plus any co-op-assigned reading or projects. This keeps core academics moving without co-op days feeling like "one more thing to squeeze in."
