In July 2020, in the midst of a global crisis where human connection was taboo, one mom set out to find like minded families to connect with and to do homeschool with. After posting in a local mom group, Cassandra had an overwhelming response of moms looking for the same thing. After a few moms reached out and said they supported the vision and desire for connection, GTAZ was soon able to have their first co-op day in September of 2020. 

Since then we have collectively built a community of like-minded families who love, support, and encourage each other, not only on the homeschool front, but in all areas of life. Between meetups, nature days, field trips, camping trips, ladies nights, family events, parent led classes and so much more we have truly become a community that stands together in order to help each member become the best versions of ourselves. 

We are more than just a co-op,

we are FAMILY.
