Course of Study Planning Appointments

Member Families: Watch for your email invitation to schedule your Course of Study Planning appointment.

When your students' completed assessments are received, your advisor sketches out remarks about each child’s academic strengths and weaknesses and basic learning styles and makes recommendations for starting points in subject areas.  These remarks and recommendations are included in your student's Academic Packet, which is emailed to you as soon as your advisor puts the finishing touches on it.  The Academic Packet suggests which courses and books to use, why to use them, how to use them, and how often and how long to use them.

The link to download your students' Academic Packets will be emailed to you along with an invitation to schedule your annual Course of Study Planning appointment.

During the planning appointment, your advisor will review each of your student's assessment results with you, and then work with you to personalize recommendations to your family, then to each of your students. The advisor will assist you in:

• moving skill levels up or down per subject;
  
• organizing the whole family into the same or complementary science, history, and religion cycles;
  
• combining students into the same or compatible texts as much as is possible;
  
• identifying central focuses for each of the students in each of the subjects according to their academic needs and styles; and
  
• making recommendations and comments on alternative choices.  

Course of Study Planning appointments are included in your family's annual enrollment package. 

Expect to schedule one planning appointment if you have one to three students enrolled.  Families with four to more enrolled students will typically be asked to schedule two of these 75-minute planning appointments.
