Thinking about homeschooling but not sure you can do it?

Already Homeschooling but want to improve on what you're doing?

Family Academy offers parent qualifying classes through several colleges in Western Washington. In addition to our current class (a traditional, on campus classroom format) we are beginning a new hybrid online/distance learning course.

The new format begins with a three-hour orientation session, held on campus. Following the orientation, participants have four weeks to complete a home-study course that includes: reading in the course workbook, on-line media presentations, on-line forum discussions, and on-line interactive quizzes. The materials teach how to individualize home instruction through, both, educational theory and practical application. At the end of the four weeks, participants reconvene on campus for a final wrap-up session.

This course meets the Washington State requirements for parent qualifying courses.

Topics Include

  • Understanding legal and personal requirements
  • Determining learning styles
  • Choosing appropriate curriculum
  • Nurturing creativity and thinking skills
  • Building character
  • And much more
