How to Use 7Sisters Curriculum in Co-op or Micro Schools

Co-ops, micro schools, group classes, umbrella schools, hybrid schools love 7Sisters’ curricula! Students love the no-busywork approach. Teachers love that the curriculum is levelable from average to honors, so it can be adapted to a variety of students’ goals.

We often receive questions about how to use 7Sisters curriculum in these classrooms. We are glad you asked!

Let’s start up front with the how to order for a co-op, micro-school or hybrid school/umbrella school.

Here are the basics:

7SistersHomeschool offers a 33% discount on all titles being taught in a co-op, micro-school, hybrid school/umbrella school (any group learning) setting.
Every student in the class (and the teacher, too, of course) should have a purchased copy of the curriculum.
- However, if siblings are enrolled in the class, their parent only needs to purchase ONE copy.
- 7Sisters copyright permits the sharing of PDF files as needed within the purchaser’s household and the printing of multiple copies as needed for use by members of the purchaser’s household.
For co-ops, micro-schools, hybrid/umbrella schools in states that reimburse for curriculum, 7Sisters offers curriculum adapted to fit the requirements.
- Look for the red medallion on the cover that shows that this text, literature or writing guide meets requirements for reimbursement.
- Here’s the listings of all the texts and guides that are acceptable for reimbursement.
Note: traditional schools sometimes use 7Sisters curriculum. If you are a traditional school representative, contact Customer Service at info at 7sistershomeschool.com
