At C.E.A. our teachers work with home school parents to provide children with a solid academic foundation within a wholesome learning environment. The teacher will provide classroom instruction, make assignments, define appropriate evaluation tools, and keep permanent records. However, parents and their children must understand that parents remain "teachers," too. They will provide needed support at home by quizzing their child prior to tests, helping with new concepts, making sure work is done on time, grading non-subjective work as directed, etc. And if parents believe their student needs additional assignments beyond the teacher's requirements, they are welcome to assign them.

Yes, for this program to work as designed, parents must remain actively involved. C.E.A. is not a traditional school, and parents must be willing and able to give considerable time and effort to making the program work for their child or teen. As with all home school parents, the enthusiastic support, involvement, and guidance of parents will be critical to their student's success.

Parents also provide support to the program as a whole by serving in various volunteer positions and by participating in scheduled work sessions during the summer months. By volunteering time, energy, and talents, parents help C.E.A. operate smoothly and efficiently. Click here for details regarding Volunteer Positions.
