In the 2023-24 school year, we are pleased to offer an a la carte menu — valuable classes into which you can enroll your homeschool middle school students (we define “middle school” as age 12-14 as of the first day of school) while still maintaining your status as an independent homeschooler.
The number of spots available for a la carte students is dependent upon our day school enrollment.
