You want to personally be involved in your child’s education but need an alternative to all the hours of planning that quality teaching requires. You want him to get that all-important foundation in reading, to develop character through good routines and habits, and to LOVE learning! Enjoy the best of both worlds of homeschooling and a traditional Christian school classroom with Abeka Academy! Our experienced, creative video teachers bring fresh ideas to make the first grade content come to life. By the end of first grade, your child will have made amazing leaps in learning! He will be able to recognize and use all the phonic sounds—including 132 special sounds—needed to phonetically read words! With Abeka Academy’s virtual program, you can easily homeschool more than one child at a time, even when your family is away from home.
As your child becomes acquainted with the students on the video, he will feel as though he is a part of the class. The teacher will even pause to give “students watching” a turn to participate in games, contests, and drills! While enjoying the fun and expanded learning of the classroom experience, your child will have the benefit of your one-on-one guidance at home as you listen to him read and recite, administer tests, and check his papers.
The prerecorded online video streaming or DVDs give you the flexibility to set your own daily schedule. The video lease provides a full 12 months to complete the 170 lessons, which take less than a half day of viewing time each. You also have the option to purchase either the tuition and book kit or tuition only. This tuition only option is for those who may already have some of the materials and wish to purchase individual items separately. Included with this option are a video manual to help you stay on track with the video teacher and record-keeping progress reports to document your child’s progress through the school year. Both options include the test materials to assess your child’s knowledge.
Abeka Academy also offers the option of Independent Study, in which you keep your student’s academic records, or our Accredited Program. Our Accredited Program does not cost a penny more and provides official report cards and free standardized testing. With either option, academic assistance is only a phone call or an e-mail away.
