Home School Support

We provide enrichment classes for home schooled students to help reinforce necessary skills.  We offer test preparation sessions to students needing additional assistance on end of grade tests.  

Parents of home schooled children…would you like to sharpen your teaching skills, learn new engaging lesson ideas, and know how to accurately assess if your child has mastered the concepts you teach?  We have training sessions designed to assist you.

 

Annual Testing Available

We are able to provide required annual testing using the standardized testing tool Kaufman Test of Academic Achievement or K-TEA.  According to state requirements home school students are required to have a nationally standardized achievement test administered annually.  The test must involve the subject areas of English, grammar, reading, spelling, and mathmatics.  Records of the test results must be retained at the school for at least one year and made available to DNPE when requested. 

Which achievement tests are most widely used by North Carolina home schools?

The California; the Iowa; the Kaufman; the Metropolitan; the Stanford; and the Woodcock-Johnson achievement tests are administered the most frequently in North Carolina.  Others not named here may also be used provided they meet the North Carolina legal criteria. 

 

Must my child be tested again even though he/she took a nationally standardized achievement test earlier this school year while enrolled in a conventional (public or private) school?

Yes,  The legal requirement for your home school is that its students be tested annually while enrolled in your home school.  In this case, the testing was done before the student was enrolled in your home school.
