A hybrid school is an alternative education model that combines at-home learning and institutional instruction. Students attend class two days per week, attend field trips one day per week, and learn at home the remainder of the week.
Giftedness comes in many forms. It can look like advanced academic abilities, but it can also look like excellent leadership skills, outstanding artistic or athletic abilities, high emotional intelligence, and more. Often, these positive qualities are accompanied with challenges like intensity and perfectionism. These learners thrive in nontraditional learning environments–if your child needs an out-of-the-box learning environment to thrive, you may very well have a gifted learner!
Tuition is $6,000/yr per student, plus a $300 materials and field trip fee. The enrollment deposit ($600) applies as the last month’s (June 2024) tuition. Tuition is due on the 15th of each month starting on August 15th, and the materials fee will be due over the summer on June 15th.
The program rents space at a church located in North Arlington. We do not have any affiliation with the church outside of our space agreement.
We meet for classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9am-4pm, and for field trips on Fridays (generally in the morning).
Unfortunately, no. We are striving to build a community of learners, parents, and teachers, and this requires consistent attendance by all.
No, students are dropped off for class days. Field trips are also a drop-off with a rotation of parent chaperones, though parents (and younger siblings) are always welcome to stay and participate on field trip days.
Parents will select their own curriculum for at-home core subjects (language arts and math). These subjects are best taught in an individualized manner, and we want you to select what best meets your child’s needs. These skills will be practiced in a group setting through enrichment activities on class days. We will meet regularly with parents to develop a comprehensive educational plan that coordinates home and class activities.
We are organized under a Christian faith-based 501(c)3 corporation. While we are inspired by our faith to share a love of learning, truth, goodness, and beauty, we do not offer specific theological or Biblical education. As a program rooted in the tradition of Classical education, references to Christian scripture, virtues, and morality are incorporated within our curriculum. To read more, please visit the blog post “Our Faith as the Why of Learning.”
Families of any faith are welcome to apply. Participants and parents’ behavior while on campus must be consistent with our code of conduct and dress code, which reflects a traditional understanding of Christian values and morality.
We are an educational resource center and homeschool enrichment program. Since we provide fewer than 180 hours of instruction, we are not permitted to register as a private school in the State of Virginia. Parents will need to register their student as a homeschooler with their school district and follow all applicable requirements.
