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 12 learners. 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 (a supply list will come in your welcome email)
Reading: Parents borrow or purchase the novels for the book club (physical copies of the Newbery books are available for purchase from Lemons-Aid at Amazon prices). 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 the bible curriculum which range from $7-$12 per book. They will need 2-3 books. Details will be in your welcome email.
Ukulele: Parents can rent a ukulele from a music store.

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.

After you look at the calendar of classes and decide what you want to do, you can begin the checkout process, which is where you will make your course selections. To enroll in additional classes a la carte, you can follow the checkout procedure for each course. If you are purchasing many courses or have multiple children, reach out and we will make it easier on you! 

A few weeks before classes begin, you will receive a welcome letter with detail on materials and how to access the classroom.
