Subgroups are structured the way many people think of co-op. These groups meet at regular intervals and each meeting builds on the previous ones. Due to their nature, members are expected to attend all meetings possible.
The content may or may not be academic, there may be field trips offered within the group, and there is typically a fee associated with each Subgroup. 

For the upcoming 2025- 26, the Subgroups being offered are:
