New to Home Schooling?
First of all, congratulations! You are about to embark on one of the most rewarding experiences of your life! Below is a short list to things to do to get started:
You will need to:
​
-
Write a letter of intent. Writing the letter is as easy as 1, 2 3! Start by using the example letter below.
-
Mail the letter RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED to the county school board so you know it was delivered to the Superintendent of the county in which you reside.
-
Keep samples of your work for every subject you cover that year. Field trips and books read are also good lists to keep.
-
Contact our own Ms. Christie to schedule a YEAR-END evaluation and then send a copy of that to your school board. You have one year to send it to them after you register. This needs to be done every year you home school.
-
Should your child graduate or choose a different form of education, please send a TERMINATION letter to your county school board. There is a sample copy listed below. Hang on to any grades and transcript that you make for the next academic year.
​
Remember, we are here to help you with education, leadership training and character building. Take a look at our extensive class list and let us know how best we can serve you.
​
Blessings to you and your family on your exciting journey!
