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.
|
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?" |
