Your co-op is a college classroom
Crown offers the Post-Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) to qualified students at HERO. This program permits students to earn college credit for free while still in high school. Students from HERO can take classes in a hybrid format in which they meet weekly at Crossroads Evangelical Covenant Church in Forest Lake, MN for 1.5 hours face-to-face with a qualified Course Assistant selected by HERO and approved by Crown.
The rest of the weekly activities for classes are online and led by one of Crown’s online faculty members. This option gives students the opportunity to get support from a familiar homeschool Course Assistant while taking a high-quality online course under the guidance of a credentialed faculty member from Crown. Hybrid courses are limited by location; however, Crown does offer most courses completely online as well as on Crown’s campus. The courses have a low student to instructor ratio and are offered in a 15-week format.
