Q. If we are currently registered as a
home-schooled family, do we need to withdraw as such once we enroll in your
program?
A. Yes. We are a public charter
school. Once your student enrolls with us, they are considered part of the
public school system.
Q. Is my student required to participate in
state testing through your program?
A. Yes. Like every other public
school, we receive state funds to operate our school and therefore required to
meet state requirements in reference to state testing.
Q. Are there any costs associated to your program?
A. Third through twelfth grade students use OdysseyWare®
curriculum and this requires access to a high-speed internet connection
for it to work properly. Also, field trips will be offered to certain age groups periodically and there may be fees required to attend. This will be noted on our calendar and in the school newsletters.
Q. What are the graduation requirements for
your school?
A. Currently, a student needs 24
credits to graduate.
Q. I have a four year old who is already
reading. Can I enroll my student at the age of four into Kindergarten at your
school?
A. No. Your student must be five
years old prior to September 1st of any given year in order to
enroll into our Kindergarten program.
Q. How often will my student meet with a teacher?
A. We have learned that every
student requires an individualized approach. At our charter school, the staff and
teachers strive to make every experience a positive one. You and your teacher will develop a schedule that works for your family.
Q. Is it possible for my student to take an
elective course at our local school?
A. We encourage families to talk directly first with their local school’s principal. We have experienced great success with this particular scenario. It does, however, require the approval of the local school’s principal to allow your student to be on school grounds during school hours.
Q. Do you have a school report card from ODE?
A. Yes.
