Chosen Scholars Academy
Homeschool Agreement and Enrollment Packet
This enrollment packet states the terms and conditions that govern the agreement between Impact Education Solutions, LLC herein referred to as Chosen Scholars Academy (CSA) and parents/guardians of participating scholars.
NOW, THEREFORE, Chosen Scholars Academy and parents/guardians agree as follows:
1. Support
The Chosen Scholars Academy envisions managing the HomeSchool Process for families to include the following:
- Providing a Safe and Flexible Environment
- Maximizing Learning opportunities for scholars
- Fostering healthy interactions with peers
- Coordinating community and parental involvement
- Establishing Trust with External learning institutions
The state of Rhode Island (R.I.) requires not only necessary accredited academic content but physical education, elective education, and RI history/government. Additionally, R.I. requires that homeschool parents/organizations maintain proper attendance records as well as academic progress pursuant to the Department of Education standards. CSA functions to support parents by helping manage the maintaining of state mandates through the school year after parents/guardians have submitted their initial “Intent to homeschool” to their designated school department superintendent.
2. Term
In agreement with Liberty University, this school term will operate on a rolling admission basis with the opportunity for new enrollment every Monday and the school year beginning Friday September 6, 2024. The school year will then fulfill the RI requirement of 180 academic days by ending on June 18, while incorporating breaks and Holidays appropriately. Chosen Scholars Academy will function in a hybrid format to include 3 in-person days of learning and support at 5.5 hours each on-site day as well as 2 off-site/independent learning days.
3. Curriculum
Chosen Scholars Academy will utilize curriculum in agreement with Liberty University Online Affiliate; an accredited Private Christian curriculum program. Parents and scholars can expect to work individually from digitized education materials with the option of support from accessible Liberty instructors during the school day. The Liberty University Online affiliate curriculum accounts for accredited learning for grades K-12 with additional options to obtain a high school diploma and/or Associate’s degree with their advanced credit add-ons.
4. Tuition and Fees
Taking into account that the Liberty University online affiliate program is a Private Christian school curriculum, there is a cost for tuition. Each scholar’s tuition will vary based on grade level/amount of credits they are taking. Parents/guardians should expect to incur a $1500-$2500 per year cost of tuition, based on the amount of credits their scholar is taking. (Specific tuition costs will be discussed and confirmed prior to enrollment). Fees associated with CSA include (but may not be limited to): Liberty University O.A. Tuition; CSA Activity Fee; CSA Facilitator fee. (This fee is specific to parents/guardians that may need a drop-off option for their scholars during the school day under the care of the C.S.A administrators.)
5. Parent/Guardian Requirements
- Parents/guardians should expect to submit their “intent to homeschool” to their school district’s department of education superintendent before the school year begins. Parents must obtain (for their record-keeping purposes) all prior transcripts/records from any previous educational institution.
- Each parent/guardian is responsible for scholar transportation and sign-in/sign-out, to include drop-offs, pick-ups, and any educational outings with CSA.
- CSA encourages high parental/guardian involvement. Keeping that in mind, we ask that parents/guardians plan to volunteer 5.5 hours per school week within the homeschool hub in order to foster a supportive environment for all scholars in attendance at Chosen Scholars Academy.
- Parents or guardians will be responsible for a facilitator fee if they are unable to accompany their scholar to CSA for the minimum required 5.5 hours per week.
6. Scholar Requirements
- Each scholar must have a completed and approved enrollment packet prior to beginning at CSA
- Each scholar must come equipped with their own device (be it laptop or tablet)
- Each scholar should be provided their lunch and snacks outside of CSA
7. Daily Operations
Chosen Scholars Academy plans to facilitate a hybrid homeschool model of 3 onsite learning days and 2 offsite/independent learning days. The suggested daily schedule in order to meet R.I. requirements is templated as follows:
This Enrollment Agreement and the interpretation of its terms shall be governed in accordance with the education requirements of the State of Rhode Island and subject to the exclusive function pursuant to Impact Education Solutions, LLC.
