Homeschool through a virtual academy
I was listening to a podcast on Focus on The Family last night and the segment was on the right education and choices of schooling for your children. The broadcast featured authors Kurt and Olivia Bruner discuss how they chose a different education option for each of their children based on the child’s needs. There was also a part of the segment that other parents explained how they settled on the best education for their children.
When it comes to a child’s education in the US, the days are long gone when parents simply sent their kids to the nearest public school. Today, parents can choose from a number of education options, including private schools, home schooling, charter schools and even “virtual” schooling. With so many options, how can parents know which one is the right choice for their child?
In fact, it’s not uncommon for families to choose an eclectic approach like the Bruners have done. It’s important to look at individual child and explore the many options available. Whether you choose public school, private school, charter school, home school or a virtual academic like The Jubilee Academy, it has to be a choice that fits your individual child.
Homeschooling has started getting more popular and there are currently about 2 millions children from preschool to year 12 are in home school setting throughout the States. However a virtual academic like The Jubilee Academy is a rather new approach. At The Jubilee Academy parents are provided with a comprehensive interactive accredited Christian program, and the children can interact with one another through the state of the art learning management system. The Social Center is where the children socialize in a safe environment. There is a Teacher/Parent Message Board that enables parents to have unlimited interaction with their student’s teachers and other Jubilee Academy parents. In another word, parents are always in complete control of their child’s education at Jubilee.
As parents we need to be aware of the options out there, don’t assume one size fits all, get the help, get the information, and your child’s going to do great if you’re involved, no matter what education option you choose.
