a little about us

1. You are looking for a 5 day a week program.

• Our program is two days a week. We offer a broad feast on both days and seek to enrich your homeschool program by partnering with you on subjects that lend themselves well to group learning.
• For younger forms, the second day of the week is optional. In Form 1 (Early Elementary, grades K-3), there is no work completed at home. LEA days stand alone. In Form 2 (Upper Elementary, grades 4-6), there will be minimal work expected at home (reading, review, practice).
• In Form 3 and up (Jr. High and High school, grades 7-12), both days are required. There will be work that is sent home and an expectation that it will be completed and returned.

2. You are looking for a traditional school-style program.

• We do not follow a traditional schedule, grouping students by grade       level and only presenting ideas that are “common” for their age. Students may be in classes with classmates who are both younger and older.
• We strive to maintain smaller class sizes with a low student-teacher ratio. 
• We choose classes and schedule based on Ms. Mason’s own schools and based on a consultation from "A Delectable Education". For information about the different subjects taught in each form, you can look here.

3. You are looking for a drop off program.

• We seek to build a community with our families. 70% of our  students have a parent who works at the school at least one day. For the students who are dropped off, parents are required to volunteer at the school during the year. Families connect outside of school hours by participating in field trips, after school activities, and school community events. 
• We seek to support parents in their homeschooling journey; not replace them as teacher. All of our parents are invested in their child’s progress and development at the school.

4. You are looking for a co-op with electives and classes you can pick and choose from.

• Our schedule is set and dictated by the subjects that Ms. Mason laid out in her volumes. For the current year’s offerings, please go here. To read more about the variety of subjects in the feast and the way they are taught at LEA, go here.

5. You are looking for a secular or worldview-neutral program.

• You can read our statement of faith on our website here. All of our teachers are unified in affirming a traditional Christian worldview.
• While not every book that we read is inherently Christian, every book will be approached in light of this worldview and statement of faith.

**We are not an umbrella school. Each family will still need to register with the state according to the guidelines laid out by the state. For more information about state requirements, you can look here if you are in TN or here if you are in VA.
