You can't let a good building go to waste, right? While running our homeschooling resource center in the youth building at Hopewell Baptist Church, we noticed that their preschool area was just sitting there doing nothing during the daytime!
We decided to use the space to create a primary school (K-3) starting in fall of 2017. Note: This is an actual school, NOT a homeschooling program. We hope to gradually expand the school by grade level.

We do not believe in the use of one boxed curriculum for the entire school. Our curriculum will consist of lots and lots of library books; an occasional workbook chosen specifically for an individual child to help him or her learn the basics; and a variety of hands-on experiences and projects.
We will have unit studies in social studies and science, and will let parents know by email which ones we are doing each month, so you can follow along and add things if you wish. We will also feature one artist or art form, and one composer a month.

Tuition is $450/month, payable at the beginning of the month, for ten months (August-May). Second child in family is $425/month. Note that parents of children younger than six may decide to stay for only the morning and be done at noon; however the tuition will remain the same.
Other Fees:
Application Fee $25...for processing application and conducting interview
Registration Fee...$100 for first child; $50 for second child. Necessary for paying our insurance.
We hope to avoid any further fees through having the school participate in a couple of fundraising activities over the course of the year. We do not want to nickel and dime you to death! In the absence of such fundraisers, additional fees would still be limited to things like field trip entrance fees or the very occasional purchase of a workbook or similar materials.
