FAQ's on homeschool helping

What grades are JLA teachers certified for? 

JLA teachers are certified at the middle and high school level. Typically, ages 10 and up.

Do you offer pods or group homeschooling?

Absolutely! Friends, family, or community members may sign up to be taught as one group or "pod." JLA teachers can differentiate instruction so students at different levels may take the same class. 

How traditional are homeschooled classes? 

Homeschool classes can be 100% customized. Lessons revolve around the standards and frameworks, which allows teachers to be more flexible with the content. Students may take classes identical to traditional courses, (e.g. Grade 8 Science, English 9, etc.) or more innovative ones that may be interdisciplinary or unique (e.g. "The Science of Cooking," "Literature and Art of Gothic, Graphic Novels").

How can JLA teachers help parents, guardians, or other instructors? 

JLA can work directly with families or other educators to build curriculum that is targeted to meet a student's need. JLA can contribute comprehensive lessons, resources, and assessments for most major subjects. 

How involved are the parents/ guardians? 

Parents and guardians may choose their level of involvement. Involvement may range from 'consulting only' to 'co-teaching' and even 'co-taking' the class with their student. 

What is the rate? 

Families can pay by the class or by the hour. Traditional classes run for around 15 weeks for one semester. While subject to change, 1 customized class is generally $95/ hour; 2 is $85/ hour; 3 is $80/ hour; 4 is $75/ hour. 

Is there a family discount?  

If family members are taught at the same time, they may receive a reduced rate. Financial support options may also be available.

What is the time commitment? 

The time commitment depends on the number of classes that a student signs up for. Students can spend anywhere from 1-15 hours a week with a teacher.  The teacher and family will create a customized schedule based on the student's goals, and sessions may vary in length. 

Are all sessions in-person? 

Yes. Remote options are available for extenuating circumstances, but lessons are delivered in person.
