A Unique Option to High School
What We Teach
We recognize that as homeschool parents, you have a deep understanding of what is best for your child. We are committed to supporting your chosen home education program with certified teachers who are always available to provide assistance and guidance. Students are invited to join us whenever we are open, to study or receive support in their curriculum. Additionally, we offer an optional traditional American supplemental program that prepares our graduates for financial independence and career success. Our aim is for our clients to enjoy the learning process, while at the same time, develop individual excellence and gain knowledge that is beneficial to them and our country.
We can provide assistance in supporting your child's curriculum.
As a parent, you want your child to receive the best possible education. That's why homeschooling has become increasingly popular among students. To support your child's academic success, our organization offers customized assistance for high school-level subjects to help each child's homeschool curriculum, specifically prioritizing math, science, English, psychology, and history. Our Success Coaches are certified teachers with extensive experience and expertise in their respective fields. They are committed to helping your child grow academically and achieving their goals. Your child can acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to excel academically with our personalized guidance.
Facilities
At our program, students can enjoy an exceptional high school experience with their fellow Eagles. Our schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing students to attend on-site every day from 7 am to 1:30 pm, except for Fridays, when the program runs from 7 am to 11 am. They are free to come as much as they want, or if they only require assistance with a specific subject, they can come for a brief period. We believe in making each day engaging, but we don't think students should come just for the sake of it. Our facilities include classrooms, workstations, an area resembling a student union, a place to warm up food, and socializing zones.
Introducing Our 5Cs Curriculum:
Civics
The Hillsdale 1776 curriculum will be the guiding force behind our high school American government and politics class. This curriculum is the preferred choice due to its traditional and patriotic approach to American history. Both students and teachers will benefit immensely from this approach.
Consumerism
Our high school curriculum is designed to align with Dave Ramsey's Foundations for Personal Finance. Throughout their four-year academic journey, students will follow this program to gain a comprehensive understanding of personal finance, budgeting, housing and real estate, investing, and more. In addition to classroom learning, we offer hands-on projects to help students apply what they learn in real-life scenarios. With a strong foundation in financial literacy, our students will be equipped to embark on a journey towards financial freedom from the very start of their careers.
Character
In our program, we believe that character is a fundamental aspect of everything we do. To emphasize this, we spotlight students who demonstrate positive character traits every month. Additionally, we prioritize teaching the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens/People, which help students develop habits that benefit them internally and externally. This enables them to positively impact their surroundings with the assistance of others. Our efforts extend beyond the school's boundaries as we organize community outreach and volunteer work to aid those in need.
Career
At Freedom, our top priority is equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities required to succeed in their endeavors. Whether they plan to pursue higher education or join the workforce right away, we match each student with a dedicated Success Coach who will work with them to create a Career Success plan. This process begins with a Career Success inventory, followed by a personalized plan that outlines the cost of education, certifications needed, and expected earnings in their chosen field. We understand that students do not want to accumulate significant debt without a viable means of paying it off Therefore, our program also offers real-world experiences such as internships, apprenticeships, and jobs aligned with their aspirations and talents. With Freedom, our students can rest assured that they are well-equipped to achieve their goals.
Core
Our program provides English and Math support for your homeschooling curriculum. In addition, we offer two classes per core subject per week to help take your child's English and Math skills to the next level. Our teaching approach involves collaborative projects and novel studies, and each course is tailored to meet the individual needs of each student, ensuring that the lessons are aligned with their career goals. Our dedicated teachers are passionate about bringing learning to life, making it an excellent addition to your homeschool curriculum. This class can also serve as your child's curriculum if you use something other than your own.
