Life on the Road

On more than one occasion, we have tried various schools.  And thus, on more than one occasion, we have pulled Nick out mid-year.

With textbooks, it’s a given that things are geared around a whole year, and that’s okay.  But having never been really comfortable piecing things together from scratch, I have tended to go for the “packaged curriculum” and “online school” kinds of things . . . which, naturally, are also geared around a whole school year.

Work-wise?  What a nightmare the year we joined a K12 Virtual Academy mid-year, and had to go through and check all the boxes and test out of all the tests for the entire first half of the year to satisfy the annual “minimum progress requirements”?

But financial-wise?!  I’m paying for a whole year to do half!

So I wanted to pass on something cool I came across recently - The Jubilee Academy is a Bible-based, accredited online program for Pre-K through 12th, with 24/7 online support and everything else you’d expect from an online homeschooling academy . . .

. . . and they offer a mid-year tuition discount starting February  1st, of some 55% off the full annual tuition. 

Just what the doctor ordered if you need to make a change mid-year.

Luckily, this year everyone in our household has stayed put.  What a relief!
