2024-2025 ENROLLING a few spots in various grades remain

Submit a registration form to be contacted.

Class sizes are small and divided by academic level for certain subjects.  Approximately 8-12 children in 3rd-6th, 8-12 for 7th-8th and 8-12 for 9th-10th.  Children may be rotated between classrooms and tutors.  Our classrooms are taught using a "flipped classroom model" with one day a week of on-site instruction with the remaining days as at home parent led instructional support.  Middle and High School students will have weekly assigned and graded homework and are expected to be invested in their studies.   Upper Elementary (5th and 6th grade) will have a weekly writing assignment and optional "extra credit" assignments.  Early elementary students will have theme-based learning that we encourage to extend into at home instruction days but will not have assignments.  Our upper grade tutors may use Google Classroom for communicating and assigning work.  Temporary organizational accounts for students and parents will be provided to students if utilized.  Parents will have one required training for at home student support.

    • NOTE:  This classical history program is intended for early elementary grades and was chosen for that reason, however it also works well for older grades because it also has extra reading, tests, essay and discussion questions.   This curriculum is criticized by some for seeming secular in that it is not necessarily God centered, in few incidences it may also seem too graphic for certain ages.  The tutor will support the biblical world timeline and adjust topics according to age of the class.  Keep in mind that in the classical Christian model, children are taught how to defend their faith and beliefs.  All religions are confronted as they naturally present themselves in the Biblical timeline of history.
