Galveston Homeschool Performing Arts Co-op was established in 2003 as a nonprofit, 501(C)(3), organization to provide comprehensive, high-quality musical education to Galveston area home-educated students, with plans to expand to include dance and drama in 2006-2007. We work hard to keep the costs to families at a minimum. First, we all share the work. Those parents with performing arts training and abilities share their expertise with the students. Those parents with no performing arts background provide help in supporting roles such as Nursery Coordinator and Communications Director. The second way we keep costs down is by fundraising. All families are encouraged to participate in our fundraising activities.
