About
Homeschool Instructional Support (H.I.S.) is a co-operative effort among home school parents to provide classes that meet once a week for the purpose of providing instruction in core subject areas as well as supplementary and elective areas. The program has been in existence since 2005. Currently the classes meet at First Baptist Church in Brazoria on Tuesdays from August through May. Assisting families with high school course requirements is the primary reason the co-op was developed.
TEFA and accreditation
What is TEFA?
Texas homeschool families get up to $2,000/year through TEFA. TEFA-accredited private schools can qualify for up to $10,474, and up to $30,000 for an eligible disability at an accredited school. Verify current amounts with the Comptroller.

Questions to ask
How does a homeschool co-op work?
Families enroll their kids in a shared schedule, usually one or two days a week, where parents or hired teachers lead classes by subject or grade band. Kids get the social and academic benefits of a classroom setting while parents keep the flexibility of homeschooling the rest of the week.
How do I find co-ops for homeschooling?
Word of mouth and Facebook groups are how most Houston families still find co-ops, which is exactly why a searchable, filterable directory helps: you can filter by area, faith tradition, schedule, and age range instead of scrolling years of old posts.
Do homeschool co-ops make money?
Most Houston co-ops are run by volunteer parents and charge fees that cover facility rental, supplies, and any hired teachers, rather than operating as a for-profit business. Larger, more established co-ops sometimes pay a small staff, but the fee structure is typically cost-covering, not profit-driven.
