Hybrid Independent Study Program for 6th-8th graders

This program offers:

• Flexible scheduling for you and your child;
  

• Individualized curriculum;
  

• Twice a week support in core curriculum areas;
  

• Optional participation in Friday art classes; and
  

• Support and guidance from the Laurel Tree Staff.  
  

This program is best for families who:

• Want to home school with support;
  

• Want a more flexible schedule;
  

• Have one parent who can be home and be the teacher;
  

• Want the curriculum support and guidance to support their homeschooling;
  

• Want to be part of an educational community, but also have some independence in how they complete the curriculum provided.
  

This program would not be good for families who:

• Are unable to spend the required amount of time teaching and supporting their children;
  

• May have trouble working together to meet deadlines or complete assignments;
  

• Want to be completely independent of a group and want to make all their own choices about curriculum.  (Straight independent study would be a good choice in this case); and
  

• Have their own curricula worked out and want to have control of the funds to purchase them.
  

Classes available to students:

Monday:  1-2 Math Support, 2-3 Science Support

Wednesday:  1-2 English Support, 2-3 History Suppport

Friday:  9-12 Art Classes

Mon-Thurs:  3-4 Algebra 1B

We will also have occasional field trips—dates and places to be determined.

Students and their parents must meet with a teacher at least once a week to turn in work and receive new assignments.
