Is this an Umbrella Program/Covering in which Real Life Academy keeps track of my student’s records?
No. Real Life’s Homeschool Program is not an Umbrella Program. You are responsible for keeping your student’s records.
Does Real Life Academy provide the curriculum for my homeschool student?
No. You are responsible for choosing your student’s curriculum, grading their school work, and keeping track of your student’s records (as required by the county).
Can my child participate in athletics at Real Life Christian Academy if they are homeschooling through an umbrella school and/or private school?
No. Your student can only participate in athletics at RLCA as a homeschool student if they are registered with Lake County as a homeschooler. If they are homeschooling through a private school, they are considered a private school student even though they are completing their studies at home. This rule is set in place by the Athletics League.
Am I required to submit my student’s grades to the Academy?
If your student is participating in Athletics, you must provide grades to RLCA’s Athletic Director quarterly (for the season your student is playing sports). Otherwise, you are not required to submit grades to be a member of the homeschool program.
Can you help me choose curriculum for my student?
We do have a Mentor Mom program in place which can help connect you with other homeschool families who are using curriculum in which you are interested. There are hundreds of curriculum options on the market, and this decision is based on many personal dynamics within your family, as well as the best learning style for your student. While we can connect you with some resources for help in your research, the decision is ultimately in your hands as the parent/guardian.
