What style of teaching should I expect my child to receive?

At HGA, we use a theme-based learning approach, where multiple subjects are integrated around a certain topic. Instead of teaching in isolation, using unit studies helps students to make connections between subjects and ideas. This allows us to tailor the learning to the students’ unique interests and reach different learning styles. We see value in multiple age ranges learning together with different complexities.

Will lunch be provided?

Your child will bring their own lunch and a snack from home each day. We will have designated times for both snack and lunch breaks during the day.

Are we faith based?

Homegrown Academy is rooted in our belief in Jesus Christ, and we incorporate faith in various ways throughout our homeschool enrichment program. We strive to create an environment where faith is valued and interwoven into our learning experiences.

Are there any additional fees or costs beyond tuition?

There is a one-time registration fee at the beginning of each school year. Parents/guardians are also responsible for purchasing the items on the student supply list. Additionally, there may be occasional fees throughout the year for field trips, camps, family events, and other activities. Families will be notified in advance of any upcoming costs.

Are parents required to stay for the school day?

No, Homegrown Academy is a drop-off program. Parents are not required to stay for the school day. We encourage parents to use this time to take care of other things they need to tend to while we engage and teach your school-aged children!

What does a typical day look like for students at Homegrown Academy?

A typical school day at Homegrown Academy runs from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Drop-off begins at 8:45 AM, and pick-up begins at 2:00 PM. Your child will bring their own lunch, and we will have a designated lunch time. Our hope is to spend the majority of our time together in nature.

Are there any parental involvement opportunities?

Yes! Homegrown Academy offers opportunities throughout the school year for parents to serve and take part in their child's learning. We will keep families updated and informed about these opportunities as they arise.

Is there any work that will need to be completed at home?

No, Homegrown Academy understands that you are already teaching and working with your children at home. As a homeschool enrichment program, we do not assign homework or projects for your children or family to complete.

What curriculum does Homegrown Academy use?

Homegrown Academy uses a collaboration of different curriculums and original content, primarily focusing on unit studies. We pull resources from various curriculums and sources, including Campfire Curriculum, Gather Round, and other great curriculum resources available to families. We love designing unit studies that ensure an interactive and enriching educational experience your child will enjoy.

Will students receive grades or report cards?

No, Homegrown Academy is solely an enrichment program. Students are expected to receive their core curriculum from their parent or guardian at home. We do not track or assign grades or report cards.

How can we stay in touch or contact you?

You can stay in contact with Homegrown Academy through email, our website, and social media. Once you register your child, you will also have access to communicate with us via text and phone within operating hours.

How can I help?

We welcome family involvement in various ways! Throughout the year, there are opportunities to donate, volunteer, or even become a sponsor. Additionally, we have an Amazon Wishlist with supplies that help support and enhance our enrichment program. If you have other ideas on how you’d like to serve or contribute, we’d love to hear from you!

Who provides student supplies?

Homegrown Academy will provide each family with a supply list for their child before the start of the year. We will also supply additional materials beyond the initial list. Occasionally, certain projects or crafts may require extra supplies, and we will reach out to families if we need assistance in obtaining those items.

Will sick or snow days be made up?

No, Homegrown Academy will not make up sick or snow days.
