2010-11 School Year

We are presenting accepting enrollment applications for the 2010-11 school year.   Space is usually snapped up quickly so we encourage all to enroll and return the assessments as soon as possible.  The fastest way to enroll is to submit an online application

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 enrollment is accepted at any time of year, January-April is the best time to order your family's assessment packet for the 2010-11 school year if you are hoping for a Fall 2010 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.
 

2010-11 Plan Early and Save Rebate (January 15 - April 15)
January 15 through April 15 is the time of the year to plan early and save! As a special reward for starting your planning process early, we are offering to all families who return their completed assessments and the Plan Early & Save rebate form by April 15, 2010, a 5% rebate on their family and student fees.  The rebate form will be mailed to you with your welcome packet so you can sign it an return it with your student's completed assessment tests.  It is also attached to the third page of the printable enrollment form found here: Enrollment and Rebate Form.   

 

"How many more students are you accepting this year?"
While enrollments are accepted at any time during the year, assessments are evaluated on a first received, first processed basis subject to advisor availability.  The chart found below was last updated on March 04, 2010, and reflects the current flow of enrollment.
  • Do keep in mind that the last several school years have seen all of the evaluation slots from January through June fill by early April.

Once the Academy receives your family's enrollment application, your welcome/assessment packet is immediately mailed out.  If you return the completed assessments prior to the date in Column 1 you will be in the queue to have your evaluations and curriculum guides mailed to you by the date in Column 2.  If you contact the Academy promptly to schedule your advisor appointment we estimate you will be ready to order books by the date in Column 3.  Please remember that the availability of each  planning schedule is dependent on how many families return their assessments in time to be eligible for the slot.  If a slot fills up ahead of schedule any assessments received thereafter will be set for the next available slot.

"How long until we receive the results of our assessments and personalized curriculum guides?"

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 -- eight to ten 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 school-in-a-box products.  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.

 

"How do we enroll?"
Enrolling is easy!  You can 1) print out an application and mail it in with your enrollment fees or 2) fill out an application and pay online.

 

"How long is our enrollment good for?"
Active enrollment in the 2009-10 school year runs from January 7, 2009 through July 1, 2010.
Active enrollment in the 2010-11 school year runs from January 15, 2010 through July 1, 2011.

Services included in active enrollment are assessment evaluation, curriculum planning, year-round advisor support, and optional report card services (extra annual fee to cover the costs of paperwork) for one grade level.  While we whole-heartedly welcome your traditional, non-traditional, year-round, planning around a new baby, transfer, early-start, or late-start school schedule the enrollment fees and expiration date of July 1st are standards set for every family and cannot be altered.
