Rock Independent Study Coop (TRISC)

Making a difference in students’ lives spiritually, academically,and socially.

Why Choose TRISC?

Some Junior or Senior High students (grades 7 - 12), for various reasons, need to study independently or in a setting other than what their public school may offer. TRISC is an independent study co-op where students can study their core classes at their own pace, as well as gain knowledge in subjects meant to enhance their total life experience.

Students are able to study in a Christ-centered atmosphere where their God-given abilities are honored and developed.

Not every student is cut out for this type of learning and so an application and interview must determine if this is the best fit for your child.

How does it work?

• Each child is registered through an independent study program (either through their local public high school or with a charter school), or with a home school organization.
• The CO-OP days and hours are: Tuesday - Friday 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
• Parents pay a minimal fee for the supervision needed to oversee their child’s independent study. In addition, parents are required to attend a meeting every other month.

Additional TRISC benefits

• Once a month field trips (parents assist with supervision).
• Flexibility of having more family time by meeting 4 days per week (5th day studies done at home).
• Career Days to assist students in making career choices.
• PE classes (independent study and home school programs typically don’t offer PE).
• Courses taught by volunteer professionals that enhance overall learning and preparation for life in general (i.e. - Microsoft Office programs, cooking, money management, etc).

What parents are saying

• "I’ve never seen my child so positive about learning."
• "My son had a high absenteeism in high school last year, but now comes consistently of his own volition."
• "My child is getting good grades with his independent study classes now that there is supervision."
• "Without the negative influences around, my child is doing so much better."
