What We Offer
Projects
Preparation for the SAT and ACT tests is embedded within each project. Students learn over 100 vocabulary words taken directly from the SAT and ACT tests and the reading, writing, and mathematics in every project is aligned with college readiness. Students hone their test-taking skills and receive assessments but there is no mandatory testing, no FSA and no EOC's. In addition to traditional academics, 2018-2019 projects teach skills such as changing a tire, simple car maintenance, understanding money, starting a business, entrepreneurship skills, public speaking, understanding credit, strategic thinking, and much more. Projects also incorporate field trips, seminars, community engagement, and guest speakers.
Our educational model is designed to benefit and meet the needs of students who:
- are willing to do the work required to keep up with an accelerated curriculum (this does NOT mean "gifted", it simply means WILLING to give your all)
- need one-on-one support from culturally responsive educators
- are seeking a smaller setting
- are homeschooled but desire community
- would be enhanced by an African-centered environment
Students who are enrolled in Semester Projects at our brick-and-mortar site also receive full access to the Online School as a part of their registration. This allows both students and their parents to attend daily sessions on their computer or phone if they are not able to make it in person.
The cost ranges from $450-750/month, depending on whether the child participates in academics only, project builds only, or both. Scholarships will be available and based on income. Online registration begins Summer 2018. Limited seats are available so register online today to receive an invitation to our Open House.
