Will there be homework?
Absolutely, we provide daily homework assignments through Seesaw or worksheets. We kindly request that all students complete their homework daily; it's an essential part of our learning routine and not optional. Thank you for your cooperation!

From Monday to Friday, your child will spend 6.5 hours in the classroom, and they will have an additional 30 minutes of daily homework assignments to further enhance their learning experience.
Will there be any assessment
of my child's progress?
​To effectively gauge academic performance and tailor our lesson plans, students undergo assessments twice a year, specifically in August and May. These assessment results are promptly shared with parents or guardians in real time, ensuring transparency and collaboration in your child's education.
What is your curriculum?
Our homeschool curriculum incorporates a variety of resources like worksheets, songs, videos, books, and hands-on activities to foster student comprehension and skill development. We also utilize specific programs such as "Little Thinkers," and "The Good and the Beautiful," along with a range of hands-on activities.
What are
your expectations of the families?
Uniforms are mandatory for all students, and we kindly request that families ensure their child is prepared for a full day of learning by being in class at 9 am, equipped with all necessary materials. Consistency and preparedness are key to a successful learning experience.
What
supplies are needed?
The compulsory coursework bundle cost is covered within the registration fee, which amounts to $200 and is payable upon enrollment. Any other recommended resources will be communicated through our communication app.
Are there uniforms?
​Uniforms are a requirement for our students, and they include an embroidered polo shirt, available for purchase online at www.jandrclothing.com/spectacular-start. During the winter a solid black long sleeved shirt may be worn under the polo shirt. Students should wear grey uniform bottoms. Please ensure that shoes are black, ankle length, and closed-toe. Crocs are not permitted.
