Beyond Homeschooling: Middle School

THE ADVANTAGES OF HOMESCHOOLING WITHOUT THE PARENT AS PRIMARY INSTRUCTOR…

Success4School offers various options for successful homeschooling that takes advantage of all the benefits of homeschooling without the "parent-schooling" part.

We offer a SPRINT program for grades 3-9. SPRINT programming allows local Homeschoolers to join in on offerings within our on-campus learning community: Boundless Achievement Academy. The offerings are limited to available space; however, they are flexible and family-forward. This programming is best for the family who feels secure in their homeschooling and is looking for a way to extend learning within a safe and supportive environment for social enrichment and learning extension experiences or for replacement learning in specific subject areas. In this option students replace some portion of their homeschooling while still integrating other resources or at-home options. From core subjects to enrichment, SPRINT focuses on meeting the unique needs of each family.

Our live academy, called Boundless Achievement, offers a Monday through Friday typical approach with personalized support and we handle it all from soup to nuts: core curriculum, standardized testing, transcripts & records, field trips, and other learning experiences grades 4- 12 with graduation, honors, and diploma production-all under our accredited programming.

For those in middle or high school, UNABLE to attend the live local academy, we offer two other options: Beyond Homeschool: A Program for Middle Schoolers and BAA Virtual High School, fully virtual or hybrid. We understand you want control over goals and curricular content choices, to be able to take advantage of concurrent college credit opportunities, and to allow more creativity and flexibility for your student to seek time for outside passions. Our program methodology creates a completely personalized experience for each student. Our Academic Coaches are master teachers with backgrounds in various areas, all of them with extensive experience working with diverse learners.

Beyond Homeschool Program for Middle Schoolers

Weekly work is personalized in both its content and instruction method for each learner's strengths, interests, and learning style profile. Based on our initial diagnostic work, we tailor a program that is as unique as your student and provides a structured, organized way for them to complete work, engage in deep conversation on topics that matter to them and grow critical thinking. Students are supported to move at a pace that best fits them to graduation. Imagine time spent one one-on-one in the areas in which your student needs more in-depth exposure and challenge and yet adjustable in providing paths that lead to demonstrated mastery. Our program frees up time for areas of focus so other areas can be further explored. We offer our Beyond Homeschool students opportunities throughout the year to participate in seasonal crafting days, events, and our end-of-year field day.

Getting started involves three steps, and if found eligible, families can take advantage of rolling admission. First, an initial consultation is scheduled. This is a two-part meeting with no obligation. It is required to build a learning profile for your student and helps us understand who they are as a learner. It paves a path to identifying how our program can meet their needs. If found eligible for the program and openings exist, your family can move to step two. Step two involves a set-up meeting where we all meet to lay out the logistics of homeschooling: the filing of your family intent to homeschool, the creation of the academic calendar, semester academic goals and the curriculum paths. Next, we schedule standing appointment times for your student to meet consistently on a weekly basis with his or her matched coach. A jump start meeting is scheduled before regular meetings begin to ensure your son or daughter will be able to confidently meet expectations in how to meet up, engage, and how to access work/materials. Typical costs include fees for the homeschool and parent setup as well as for a jump-start meeting for the student. Additionally, there will be some costs for the materials that are chosen by families for instruction (workbook, textbook, kit). Our recommendations are always to utilize used materials for content resources and our company has multiple content subscriptions for print and digital means which are provided at no cost to our families. We encourage the purchase of a writing tablet for remote sessions, typically around $45.00 All materials are purchased for families turn-key and billed for reimbursement. There is no lost time for families in the procurement and organization of materials. The final cost for the program is the program annual tuition (call for rate). A typical year is based on an academic calendar that runs from late August to end of May, typically 32 weeks. The program is cost-effective, engages your learner one one-on-one, and takes care of all the required filing and record-keeping necessary- turn-key, including standardized achievement testing in the spring. High School transcripts are produced at the end of each year if high school courses are completed.

Beyond Homeschool is a program specifically for those students in middle school, grades 6-8. Once a student is eligible for high school fully, we offer a virtual high school program with a personal connection and access to an academic coach throughout the week. This program is an offshoot of our live academy program. While some of the live opportunities are not a part of the Virtual High School experience, like Sim Squads or Seminar, Field trips, etc, the self-paced driven coursework has the same gamified inquiry approach, offering choice and personalized support for students with AD/HD, Anxiety, learning challenges, scheduling challenges, or a passion area whihc requires a more flexiblestructure, like those in competitive traveling sports or dancers.

We are fully accredited, and all students who meet the state criteria may be dually enrolled in the NC CCP program and take college courses for credit while in high school (11th and 12th grades). Graduating seniors can participate in social events. We hold a formal graduation ceremony, with regalia, speeches, diploma & honors distribution, if families choose.

The Beyond Homeschool Program for middle school involves a weekly meeting one-on-one with an academic coach remotely[Zoom] or live (~45-60 minutes). Weekly coursework is laid out and personalized to the student. We build executive functioning through the teaching of tools like hot lists and individualized support in areas of need with the ability to fly solo in areas of strength. The academic coach will review all work and produce attendance and progress records at year’s end. Students completing this program may move forward with our academy program for high school, either live or virtual.
