Hybrid Homeschooling
Living Science Academy is a hybrid-model school; parents retain their leadership role in the education of their children. Most of our classes meet one day per week, which means that students will complete a majority of their school work at home under parental supervision. Families with one or both parents involved with their students’ academic coursework are most successful with the hybrid model. The State of Georgia requires a minimum of 4.5 hours per school day for home educated students. Most full-time elementary or middle school students at Living Science Academy will be able to complete their weekly work within this timeframe (22.5 hours/week including time spent in class). High school coursework requires more time, depending on the course load selected.
We offer a full complement of academic courses for homeschooled students from 2nd to 12th grade as well as science clubs for K-1. Our qualified, innovative faculty provides rigorous instruction in what we believe is an excellent balance of a warm, homelike atmosphere, high expectations, and accountability. Most classes meet once a week. Because we are a science-focused school, all students are required to take a science class with us. Our annual week-long field studies trips are a highlight for students in middle and high school, and work completed on these trips is a significant portion of each student’s grade.
