The classroom school days are Mondays and Thursdays, 8:30am - 2:30pm. Students are dropped
off by parents at the designated drop off point with their backpacks and
lunches between 8:15am - 8:30am and go directly to their
classrooms where they learn in a group setting, taught by experienced
classroom teachers.
What is a typical
home school day?
On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, students learn at home with parent instruction, guided by lesson plans provided by our experienced classroom teachers. Parents are free to implement their home school schedule as they see fit.
Who is the primary educator?
The parent is the central participant in the education of their child and are responsible for instruction three days of the week, thus sharing in the instructional responsibility.
Can I maintain my home school status?
A home school parent may have the option of retaining their home school status while participating in a private school program. 7MHSA deems it the responsibility of the parents to seek legal counsel on this issue.
What is your average class size?
Our maximum class size for the private school is 10 students.Must I volunteer?
At 7MHSA parents are required to volunteer two days a semester in the classroom. Parents who are not able to volunteer will be assessed a fee of $50 per missed day. If you are not able to serve in the classroom we can work with you to provide a variety of options to fulfill the volunteer hours with our various needs.What grades do you serve and are you planning to add more grades?
Our first year saw us starting with only grades 1-4. By our second year, we offered grades Pre-K through 6th. In 2008, we began serving Pre-K through 8th grade. In 2010, we began offering "university-style" classes for middle school students. For the 2011-2012 school year, we added "university-style" classes for all grades, as well as the part-time private school for grades Pre-K through 8th. More grades will be added to the private school as the need arises and God leads. Currently, we have over 80 students enrolled in the a la carte program.How much does curriculum cost?
A list of required curriculum is provided to each family by Seven Mountains. Much of the curriculum can be purchased used. Approximate cost of NEW curriculum is between $200 - $600, depending on the grade. However, most families can pay significantly LESS for curriculum by purchasing some used and/or swapping with other families. Also, some curriculum can be used for multiple children and/or multiple years.
