How do I enroll?

We require that parents complete a Family Profile Questionnaire for each child they wish to enroll. You can find this enrollment form on our website where it can be completed and submitted electronically. When we receive your information, we will contact you by phone to request further information (if needed) or to simply schedule a consultation to set up your program .

What happens during the consultation?

The telephone interview can be from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the number of children and the complexity of questions asked. Essentially the interview will use the questionnaire and other information gathered during the time on the phone to recommend a tentative course of study, explanation of the materials, and general suggestions for implementation.

What happens after the consultation?

You will be sent a pending invoice in order to verify the materials you will need to purchase to implement the program. We ask that you get back to us within one week to finalize your invoice. Your personalized binder, which includes specific guidelines, a one week sample schedule, reading lists, planning pages, and general helps will then be compiled, along with any materials you need and mailed to you as soon as possible. (Please allow 4 to 6 weeks) Material costs will vary, but it is best to plan for $300.00 - $600.00 per child each year.

What is the difference between the monitored and unmonitored programs?

Essentially you get exactly the same service outlined in the previous two sections with the exception that families enrolled in our monitored pro-gram will complete an evaluation and send in requested samples of work three times per year. These packages will be reviewed by our staff and returned along with an anecdotal report of your child's progress as well as suggested answers to questions you may have raised on your evaluation form.

Can I have my child monitored for one subject only?

Yes, some families don't require help in setting up a program of study for their child, but wish to have some feedback on progress in a special area, usually written work. The procedure for enrollment is the same as previously outlined. The cost is $150 and this provides for up to ten writ-ten submissions per school year.
