Hybrid Home-Education Program
Partnering with Parents
Our Hybrid Program combines the best of both worlds: two days a week of classroom instruction with dedicated, parent-led learning the rest of the week. This flexible model allows students to benefit from structured in-person lessons with our experienced educators, while also giving parents the role of active partners in their child’s education at home.
While we provide the foundation in core subjects during our in-person days, the real success of this program relies on the commitment and involvement of parents. It’s important to understand that this is not a “sit back and hand out worksheets” approach. Parents play a vital role as teachers at home—guiding their child through lessons, explaining concepts, and offering support when needed. It’s all about helping students understand and apply what they’re learning, not just filling out assignments.
We assess students prior to enrollment. Grade placement is based on where a student is academically, rather than placing by age, so we name our classes Primary (K-2nd), Grammar (3rd-4th), and Upper (5th-6th). An individualized curriculum list is provided upon signing up for our hybrid program. Throughout the school year, we will continue to assess students quarterly to track progress and address areas of strengths and weaknesses.
For families who are ready to invest time and energy into their child’s education, this program offers a balanced, hands-on approach where everyone - students, parents, and teachers - works together to make learning meaningful and effective.
Cycle of Responsibility
We value parents as partners!
Helpful questions when considering a hybrid school format are:
- Are you looking for an academic partnership to provide guidance, accountability, and social interaction for your student?
- Do you have the time to devote at least 2-3 days of the week to home education?
- Are you willing to prioritize the set curriculum assigned by our educators?
- Do you want a traditional classroom model with teacher-led instruction on a part-time basis?
Is this the right fit for your child? Students who work well in a hybrid format:
- Thrive in an environment with a small student-teacher ratio.
- Are able to listen attentively and are eager to learn.
- Understand and follow traditional classroom etiquette (sitting at a desk, raising their hand to speak, etc.).
- Receive instruction and guidance well from teachers and parents.
Benefits of our our hybrid program go beyond just a two-day classroom:
- Parents receive personalized guidance, coaching, and feedback to aid them in successfully and confidently teaching their student at home.
- The small student-teacher ratio allows students to work closely and engage with their teacher, getting support in real time as needed.
- Students gain confidence by being met where they are academically, being challenged to grow in an attainable manner.
- Our mixed age groups and small setting cultivate a variety of social skills, including teamwork, problem solving, and collaboration.
