The Support You Need, Just in Case

If your learner needs a little extra support, we have safety nets in place such as additional classes, tutoring, and self-paced courses to fill gaps or offer enrichment. Pod learners have access to these supports at a special discounted rate.

Frequently Asked Questions:

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.  

We have capped the classes to 16 learners at the high school level. Our teachers have experience building relationships with each learner and making them feel special and loved. 

The teacher will provide much of what you need; however, some courses do have a required materials list:

Math, Writing, Science, & Spanish: teacher-provided materials and commonly found items around the house (supply list coming soon)
Reading: Parents borrow or purchase the novels for the book club. Details will be in your welcome email.
Social Studies: Parents purchase a $22 license for the online curriculum. Details will be in your welcome email.
Bible: Parents purchase bible studies. Details will be in your welcome email.
Ukulele: Parents can rent a ukulele or guitar from a music store.

If your learner takes all eight courses, materials cost $55 plus the novels required for literature and an instrument rental.

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 add-on classes meet for 25 minutes. Each semester is 13 weeks. We take a week off at Thanksgiving and two weeks off at Christmas. Spring Break is the week following Easter. We are offering our pods as weekly subscriptions to help parents break up tuition payments. 

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 learning done in this pod will properly prepare your learner for the rigors of college work. Our teacher 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.
