WHICH GRADES DO YOU SERVE?
We serve children PK4-6th grade. In order to participate in PK4, children must be 4 before September 1st of that school year and be ready to learn in a formal setting. If space allows, the child may enter at a later date.
HOW LONG WILL I SPEND TEACHING ON "AT-HOME" WORK?
-
Pk4 will be very minimal. 10-15 minutes spent reviewing will be enough.
-
K-1 Will require reading practice, along with 20 minutes of work/review.
-
2-3 Will require reading/spelling practice, along with 30 minutes of work/review.
-
4-6 Will require reading/spelling practice, along with 45 minutes of work/review.
* These times are daily estimates and may be more or less depending on ability and do not include time spent on electives or other courses with which you may choose to supplement.
WHAT DENOMINATION IS THIS PROGRAM?
Our program is non-denominational.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE BULLYING?
Our hope is to prevent bullying through our Christian Character classes as well as tight-knit community which includes parent involvement. In the event that bullying occurs, it will be taken seriously and handled promptly. One benefit to co-op education is that we get to decide collectively if a family needs to be reconsidered or if more accommodations can be made.
WHAT DOES TUITION COVER?
Many private schools underpay their teachers, and we want to honor the hard work they do. The majority of your fees go toward hiring highly qualified, credentialed teachers. The rest of the fees cover insurance, building and maintenance as well as misc. business costs.
ARE THERE DISCOUNTS ON TUITION?
As a new program, we are unable to give substantial discounts, however, in order to make things more affordable, a parent may work weekly as a TA (Teacher Assistant) and receive a discount. Please indicate interest in your application.
HOW OFTEN WILL I BE VOLUNTEERING IN THE CLASSROOM?
One parent or other guardian is required to volunteer in a classroom 1 day per semester or 2 days per semester if there are multiple children in the program. Families may choose to complete their volunteer time as a member of our PTA instead.
I HAVE YOUNGER CHILDREN, CAN THEY COME ON THE DAYS I AM SCHEDULED TO VOLUNTEER?
Yes. Certain days there will be childcare on site, directly across from the PK/K classroom. If you will need childcare on your "volunteer day" please indicate that on your enrollment form and we will make sure to have that available to you.
WILL UNIFORMS BE REQUIRED?
Yes. There are several reasons for this. Most important is safety. We are located on a church campus and it is important children, as well as staff, are easy to identify. Studies show children learn better in settings where uniforms are used and lastly, since we are a new program, we see this as an opportunity to spread awareness. Uniforms will be reconsidered at the end of each school year.
WHAT ARE THE SCHOOL UNIFORMS?
Every child will be given one school shirt as part of their registration fee. They may choose to wear this or may wear ANY blue, white or gold shirts or dresses. Bottoms should be solid neutral colors.
WILL THERE BE ANY “FREE-DRESS” DAYS?
Yes, 5. The free dress days are: First day of school, Christmas, Easter, Last day of school, and one day for your child's birthday!
