Homeschooling

What classes do I need? How do I get a diploma? How do I get into secondary programs?

Flexible Pacing Option

We understand that every student learns at their own pace. For those who may benefit from a modified schedule or require more time to complete coursework, we offer a five-year high school option. This extended program allows students to take fewer classes per year, preventing overwhelm and ensuring a more supportive and manageable learning experience.
