At-home work is provided in the 5th/6th class. The assignments are leveled and scalable, with the intention of providing you the ideal amount of support you desire for your educational objectives. Some at-home reading (or listening to the audio version) from our class text is built into the expectations for the class. The elementary KDO teachers do not assign grades for the work completed and the parent maintains the level of involvement in the learning process they see fit. KDO is designed to be a service to your homeschooling journey. Parents may choose one of two “levels” that best suit their student which are scalable at the parent’s discretion. The Foundation option for your student accomplishing 30 min. /wk of preparation for class to provide a basis for steady in-class dialog and momentum. The Grow option for your student accomplishing 2-3 hrs. /wk of preparation for class to provide a fuller history experience, meeting many history objectives. The student should need only limited parental involvement in their weekly assignments.
Elementary Tuition: $30/week for the 1st child and $25/week for any children thereafter per family.
