“Comm.” stands for communication. We believe that communication, both written and verbal, is an important aspect of the Christian life. One can possess knowledge and Truth, but it is powerless if they lack the communication skills necessary to share it with those in their spheres of influence.

“Comm.” stands for community. We believe that God designed us to be in community with one another in all we do. The Academy provides opportunities for friendships to be forged.

Q:

A:

Instruction for every subject, regardless of grade level, provides all the necessary information for success. While there's a learning curve with any new program, students can thrive with strong parental support, patience, a willingness to ask questions, and three weeks of experience.

Q:

A:

• All of the Romantic languages are derived from Latin: French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Romanian. Learning these languages is easier with a strong foundation in Latin.
• A vast majority of English words are based on Latin roots, so the knowledge of Latin increases one’s English vocabulary.
• The language of many disciplines is based on Latin roots: law, medicine, philosophy, and engineering.
• Understanding grammar is an intricate part of studying foreign language, so the study of Latin is one of the best ways to cement your knowledge of English grammar.
• Translating Latin is an excellent mental exercise that forces students to attend to the task. They can not fake their way through it.

Q:

A:

• K4-2^nd Grade: Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Math
• 3^rd-6^th Grade: Spelling, Math

Q:

A:

• We believe that math, like phonics, should be taught to mastery and each student should progress at his/her own pace.
• The Academy does offer math beginning in 7^th grade where students can select a math course appropriate to their level of mastery.

Q:

A:

• Total cost of books ranges between $230 and $310 per student 3^rd through 8^th grade. 
• The cost for additional students within the same family will not double because of the inclusion of teacher guides and texts that only one per family are required. 
• Parents with students below 3^rd grade can expect the cost of books to be considerably less depending on optional material purchased. The cost of high school books depends on classes selected.
• Once you receive the curriculum list for your student’s grade, you can see the store recommendations below where you can set up a wish list that will calculate your exact curriculum cost.

Q:

A:

• A great online store for ordering homeschool curricula is Rainbow Resource:  http://www.rainbowresource.com
• Any book not carried by Rainbow Resource can be found on Amazon.

Q:

A:

It is our desire that all parents aspire for their students to complete all assignments to the best of their ability. It can be very discouraging for the teacher and other students in the class to have a discussion and others not be prepared.

If your student has a learning difference or an IEP on file, please visit with us about accommodations that can be made.

There is a two-week extension on all assignment deadlines to allow for illness, vacation, or other extenuating circumstances.  The assignment will initially be marked as missing, but will be updated if the assignment is submitted within the two-week grace period and the teacher is notified.
