FAQ

Is this a secular program?

Not necessarily. Although we do not offer bible study in our curriculum, we do study Christian holidays (Christmas, Easter etc.) We believe your family’s individual beliefs are best taught at home or at your place of worship.

Is there a family discount?

Yes, we offer a 5% family discount. Keep in mind we strive to have exceptional teachers for our program, and we count on your tuition to compensate them fairly.

Do you offer the required testing for homeschool students?

We do not offer the testing in-house (grades 3, 5, and 8 are required in PA) but we can provide you with direction and suggestions for testing. Additionally, we do not have a PA Homeschool Evaluator on our staff (yet) but we can recommend our favorites.

What qualifications do your teachers have?

We strive to have exceptional teachers guiding your child. All of our teachers must have prior experience teaching in public school, private school or homeschooling. We require teachers to have PA Child Abuse Clearance as well as the PA State Police Clearance. We review credentials as we interview potential teachers.

Are students required to bring a packed lunch?

Yes. Please send a water bottle and packed cold lunch each day.

What curriculum is used?

Our days are packed full of activities, not a formal curriculum. Activities are inspired by both Montessori and Waldorf philosophies and your learners’ interests!
