Learners can expect to have homework for some classes. Since we cover an entire semester with only two live classes per week, they will need to work on homework twice weekly to complete all of their learning.
As veteran homeschool moms ourselves, we see the value in grades, homework, and tests to prepare learners to succeed in their learning journey. We have seen learners struggle in college if they don’t learn to take tests or write essays quickly. We aim to prepare them to perform at a high academic level in their academic courses. Accountability in the form of grades, class presentations, and checking in with teachers also increases learning and personal responsibility.
Yes! Yes! We are mission-minded organization and our love for the Lord and intense desire to glorify Him drive us to do what we do. We exist to see children come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ and then to grow in wisdom and knowledge so they can walk in a manner worthy of their calling. We want them to develop an authentic biblical worldview. Karen Lemons, the founder of Lemons-Aid, is fiercely protective of the mission and puts all teachers and staff through a rigorous application process. Our teachers have professional development in how to teach with from a biblical perspective.
Yes! All of our teachers have gone through background checks, identification verification, and have training on how to keep learners safe while teaching online. We teach our learners to keep their own personal identifying information private while online. All communication between teachers and students is copied or accessible to parents. We follow COPPA policies to protect young learners while on line. Classes are recorded for transparency with parents.
This pod is designed for heritage speakers and conversational Spanish users seeking to develop academic language proficiency. If you can talk with family in Spanish but struggle with formal communication, we’ll help you strengthen all four essential skills—reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Perfect for those with significant exposure to Spanish but limited formal Spanish education, bolstering your Spanish literacy and preparing you to communicate with Spanish speakers across the globe. If you would like to speak with the Spanish director to see if it’s a good fit for your child, please reach out. We are happy to help you figure it out.
We have capped the secondary classes at 16 learners. Our teachers have experience building relationships with each learner and making them feel special and loved.
To make it easy for parents, we include the cost of materials in your tuition and will send you everything you need. We will even mail you a ukulele! The only exceptions are novels for English and if your learner joins a book club. We do not mail you the books. Some parents like the Kindle version, can use the library, or already have the books. We do offer books for the book clubs as part of our special “library” that comes in a beautiful wooden crate, but this is an add-on fee.
Teachers offer helpful and frequent feedback to learners both on the work they do in class and for homework. This is done verbally, through video recordings, messages, and comments on Google docs. Our elementary learners do not receive traditional grades.
All classes are recorded and enrolled learners will have access to view those recordings.
Each class meets once per week for 45 minutes. Some of the elective classes meet for 25 minutes.
Classes begin Sept 8, 2025 and end May 9, 2026.
Holidays:
As we work with your child, if we think we need to do something more, we will let you know. We will give you various options and advice from things you can do at home, to additional group classes and tutoring. We want to see your child grow to love learning and to have success.
The enrollment process is quick and easy. You will follow the process below for each of your learners.
Your learner will be enrolled in each course. You will receive a welcome email with details on how to access the learning platform called The Grove. Your materials will be mailed to you before classes begin!
If you would like to pay for the entire year, you can do so at a discount. Just reach out to ask.
If you live in a state that offers families ESA dollars (Education Savings Accounts), we are an approved vendor in multiple states. View our tuition help page for more information.
If you need help getting your charter school to pay for classes, contact us for support.
The learning done in this pod will properly prepare your learner for the rigors of college work. Our teachers are very good at identifying when a learner needs more challenge, and we work with the students and parents to adapt and modify the learning to meet his or her needs.
We are not a school, so we do not offer diplomas, but we help homeschool families develop their diplomas and transcripts and offer suggestions on creating special graduation ceremonies.
Schools are accredited, and we are not a school. However, we are seeking accreditation as an organization. We can help you, as the homeschool parent, complete everything you need for NCAA D1 course approvals (our courses will get approved). We also help you with transcripts. As the homeschool parent, you are the director of their learning. You do not need accredited courses to get into college.
You can contact us with more questions. We are happy to chat via email, text, or phone call. We can also pop onto a Zoom call to meet you and a group of friends.
Customize the pod how you want. Choose two courses. This pod includes a homeroom class and organization class at no additional charge. The price also includes materials.
Students meet live with the teacher and a group of students. The benefits of live courses are that students have interaction with a teacher and peers in a community. Longer (multi-day, semester, and subscription) courses offer them the ability to develop relationships with their teacher and peers while studying content that builds on previous learning such as longer-range essays, projects, and assignments with teacher feedback.
Live courses can be a:
Teacher and learner are “synced” together for learning but not at the exact same moment like in a scheduled live class (the “a” in “asynchronous!”
These are courses that give students the flexibility to work when they can, but they still have deadlines and accountability with a teacher! Learners have a teacher getting to know them, guiding them and interacting with them, offering feedback, and grading their work. The course includes video lessons, interactive activities, assignments, and quizzes. As this is an asynchronous course, there are no live classes. These courses are less expensive and very flexible, while still having interaction with a teacher.
Async Courses can be:
Students have access to curriculum or lessons and can go through them at their own pace or “on demand.” There are no live classes and students complete the lessons independent of a teacher. The benefits of the online lessons are that they are the most affordable way to experience an excellent curriculum with videos, interactive material, and quizzes. For younger students, parents are able to direct them through the learning; for older students, they can often navigate the lessons on their own.
Think of the online curriculum as an interactive, video-based, online book!
Online curriculum can be a:
Students meet with a degreed and certified teacher in a one-on-one live session. Your teacher will help you with the school work you already have or will design a custom curriculum for you. Price varies by teacher and whether your instructor is designing a custom curriculum or if you are bringing your homework for some support.
Tutoring can be:
In a subscription course, students complete lessons and/or meet on a regular basis, based on the subscription terms. For example, they may meet once per week, every other week, or three times per week. Payment is made per subscription terms, and you are not charged for weeks you don’t meet.
A Micro Lesson is a super quick lesson on one skill or concept, usually comprising of a video lesson for 1-3 minutes and an interactive activity.
A one-time course is one live meeting. It’s a great chance to try out a teacher to see if it’s a good fit or learning something in a short live lesson.
In a multi-day course, students meet and/or complete work over a period of days or weeks. It is shorter than an entire semester.
In a semester course like this, students meet or complete work for an entire semester (half a school year) or trimester (a third of the school year).
In a yearlong course like this, students meet or complete work for an entire year.
Groups are like clubs where groups of learners gather with like-minded peers to study, explore, read, talk, or play. A book club, lifegroup, or gaming team are great examples!
This is a course for adults, who have a coach and course to support them in gaining knowledge or skills. For example, our Orton-Gillingham early literacy teachers coach moms and dads who are teaching their children with dyslexia how to read. Another example is when Mrs. Lemons coaches teachers with lesson planning or classroom management, or she coaches teacher entrepreneuers in their teaching business.
Coaching can be a mix of self-paced learning, cohorts, live, webinars, small group, or 1-1.
