"I know every family, and each of the students, and am available at all times to them."

Kathleen is more than just an admin to these families. She helps them support their kids in both in education and in life.

The personal relationships are what makes CCA a microschool.

What's dual credit?

High schoolers "are able to take college courses and [by the end of high school they can] graduate with an Associate of Science" so they can go straight into their junior year of college, saving them 2 years of their lives, and 10s of thousands of dollars!

[MySchoolMyWay @MySchoolMyWay]

What started as the simple dream of a teenager to provide a better educational experience led to over 20 years serving homeschoolers from around the world.

One teacher changing the lives hundreds of kids.

That's the power of a simple idea put into action.

What's your idea?

What about virtual microschools?

Charity Christian Academy is an accredited homeschooling program. You can either receive a kit with a full year's curriculum to do at home while benefitting from CCA's grading and accountability

OR for older kids you can do all the work online!

AI created this video with a 10 word long prompt. (That's the same length as that sentence!)

It's kinda cheesy, but fairly accurate and well constructed.

What do you think?

Feast of ideas homeschool curriculum:

1. Covers and connects 5 subject areas.
2. You need NO background in music... or any of the other subjects covered. You can learn right alongside the kids!
3. It integrates music, games and food, so kids will ENJOY it too!

[MySchoolMyWay @MySchoolMyWay]

"Each week focuses on a composer and gives us a snapshot of that time period. Each day of the week, we'll study a different subject."

This allows kids to look at the music, art, science, and historical events going on around the world during that snapshot.

[MySchoolMyWay @MySchoolMyWay]

"I've always wanted to equip parents to feel comfortable painting a big picture of the world..."

Using music, cooking, musical games, low-prep science and art activities, and lots of comfortable reading and discussion makes this curriculum easily approachable and affordable!

As cultured as the founding fathers may have been, none of them listened to Beethoven when they were growing up. How do we know? Because Beethoven didn't even debut his first major orchestral work until 1800!

Connections like this are made with the Feast of Ideas curriculum.

Re*Wild Family Academy is a microschool in Reno County KS. Listen to founder, Devan Dellenbach explain the program she's created for local families!

[MySchoolMyWay @MySchoolMyWay]

Re*Wild is designed around families. They provide support when needed, but don't punish families who can't make it every day.

The kids get to be with friends, so they "arrive with smiles on their faces and they leave with smiles on their faces"

and that's how school should be.

[MySchoolMyWay @MySchoolMyWay]

In the mornings, @Devan44551105 provides 1:1 attention on core subject curriculums that each parent chooses for their kids.

In the afternoons, the kids focus on group activities, deepening their knowledge by applying it to tasks that are meaningful and valuable to them.

[MySchoolMyWay @MySchoolMyWay]

@ColleenDippel @yes_everykid @StandTogether @TPPF Thanks for sharing!

@Devan44551105 is doing such great work and something more educators could replicate in their own communities!

[MySchoolMyWay @MySchoolMyWay]

"I wanted to provide [parents] not only support, but also a space for their children to be able to come regularly and have those group projects... that often you miss in homeschooling your own children."

Re*Wild has become that space and it takes homeschooling to the next level.

[MySchoolMyWay @MySchoolMyWay]

Rewilding is a term used to describe the restoration of an area of land back to its natural state.

Founder Devan Dellenbach brings this mindset to Re*Wild Family Academy, where kids AND their parents come to learn and find ways to make home education a part of their lives.

Why would a microschool join a network of potential competitors?

Microschools often fill a niche and are designed in a way where they intentionally stay small.

This means that being part of a network is a chance to partner and EXTEND their capabilities, not limit them.
