Virtual Co-ops

What is a Virtual Co-op?

Tapestry virtual co-ops are made up of Tapestry families from across the country desiring to provide discussion classes for their dialectic and rhetoric students. Such groups typically meet in virtual classrooms in real time to work through the discussion scripts provided in the curriculum. Many co-ops will also add in review and game days.
