Frequently asked questions.
FAQ: How is our learning center school different from a traditional/private school?
Answer: At our learning center, we believe in shared responsibility. While we provide a supportive classroom environment and curriculum that both meets and exceeds state standards, we recognize that it is a joint effort between parents and our learning center to ensure your child is meeting and maintaining those standards. Parents play a crucial role in reinforcing lessons at home, and we're here to support your homeschooling journey. Our goal is to create a community of like-minded individuals passionate about education, working together for the benefit of your child's well-rounded learning experience
FAQ: Are there opportunities for parent volunteers?
Answer: Yes, we encourage parent involvement through regular communication and volunteering opportunities. While we do not offer volunteer work in the day-to-day classroom setting, we would love to collaborate on things like events and field trips. We believe that a collaborative effort between parents and educators enhances the overall community experience.
FAQ: Can I pick and choose class days, or is there a set schedule that I must follow?
Answer: Absolutely! Our program is designed to be flexible and a la carte. You have the freedom to choose the days that best fit your schedule and align with your learning goals. Whether you prefer attending just one day or every day we offer, our program is tailored to accommodate your individual needs and preferences.
FAQ: Are the Teachers at the learning center qualified?
Answer: Our teachers at the learning center are all qualified professionals. Through a meticulous interview process, we handpick educators who bring a passion for teaching, a commitment to student success, and a collaborative spirit to our learning community.
