Our Story

PEP was founded in 2018 after local homeschool families expressed a need for a low-cost secular cooperative in East Tennessee. With the generous support of Powell Presbyterian Church, we were able to launch and grow a thriving community.

Over the years, our membership and programs expanded beyond what our original space could accommodate. After several semesters of reaching capacity, we made the exciting decision to move to Graystone Presbyterian Church, where we now have room to continue growing and welcoming new families.
