2008-09 School Year |
|
It is that time of year again! Right now we are accepting
enrollments for the 2008-09 school year. If you are interested
in being ready to start schooling by the end of August we have room
for about 100 more families this year. The space
is being snapped up quickly so we do encourage all to enroll and
return the assessments as soon as possible. The fastest way to
enroll is through the internet or over the telephone. There is
a waitlist available for families who understand they will be
ordering their books in September (or later if they don't plan on
returning the assessment tests by July 20th). Getting the assessment testing done before the summer crunch
season allows for a much more relaxed planning period on
your part as well as allows your advisor to assist in identifying
what is necessary to accomplish in your current school year. While enrollments are accepted at any time of year, now is
the best time to order your family's assessment packet for the
2008-09 school year if you are hoping for a Fall 2008 start date.
As soon as we receive your enrollment application and enrollment
fees (or at least the first payment if you opt for the payment plan)
we will mail out the assessment packet. |

Assessments are evaluated on a first
received, first processed basis. The evaluation
turn-around times get much longer during the homeschool planning and
conference season of May through August. If you have a conference or
a set start date for your schooling in mind we recommend you complete
and return your assessments well in advance -- seven to eight+
weeks in advance is best.
Keep in mind that these evaluations and
curriculum guides are completely personalized for your
family. Our assessments are not fill-in-the-bubble,
standardized tests but rather skills assessments we have designed to
appropriately evaluate each student's academic strengths,
weaknesses, and learning styles. Your advisor will be
reviewing each assessment personally, not feeding it through a machine
for scoring and national percentiles. Our curriculum guides --
which consist of book ordering information, course notes, pacing
recommendations, and weekly lesson plans* -- are
designed from top to bottom for each student with the family's
cyclical history and science focus in mind to encourage family-style homeschooling.
The curriculum guides are definitely not a "school-in-a-box"
product. While we understand that it is often hard to wait for
the results of your assessments we promise that your patience will
be rewarded with a well-designed, completely personalized,
comprehensive academic plan for your family. It is worth
the wait!
*Lessons plans have been developed for courses
that do not already have their own pace and plan of study included. |
