Our Partnership with Homeschool Families
Christian Principles — Classical Methods — Amazing Results
Tall Oaks Classical School is pleased to partner with homeschool families as they seek to educate their children in the home setting, but may desire their children to be in weekly group classes such as P.E., Chorus, Art or Music Theory. Tall Oaks also partners with families who are looking for assistance in teaching advanced upper school courses such as, but not limited to, the Sciences/Labs; Greek; Rhetoric; Theology, etc. Extra curricular activities such as private and group music lessons, intramural sports or varsity sport teams are also an option for homeschool students.
A La Carte Policy
After regular enrollment has ended, selected classes are made available for
qualified applicants from outside of the full-time regular enrollees of Tall Oaks.
Students who enroll as a Tall Oaks á la carte student must commit to attending
all classes for which they have registered and been accepted on a regular basis for one
academic school year unless providentially hindered. The student will be considered an
integral part of the class with all the rights and privileges thereof, and, therefore, will be
expected to do all class assignments, including projects and tests. A report will be
issued each quarter and a certificate will be issued at the end of the year, certifying that
the course has been taken, completed and passed.
Students are expected to wear uniforms to class and to abide by all general
policies applicable to full time Tall Oaks students as delineated in the Parent-Student
Handbook, including receiving demerits and doing restitution for those demerits.
Students are expected to arrive for the class on time and then leave when the
class is over. Students may not stay at Tall Oaks unattended. The parents are asked to
contact the school office if they are going to be late in picking up the student.
Attendance as an á la carte student does not qualify the student to participate in
activities of the school unrelated to the particular class taken, such as Protocol classes
and special events. The student is invited to attend all field trips relating to their specific
class and must pay additional admissions fees particular to the event. Arrangements
may be made to take PSAT or ERB tests on a per test cost basis.
Interested families are required to apply to Tall Oaks through our online process which is still under construction. Please check back soon to apply online for A la carte courses. Classes for the 2012-2013 school year begin August 27 and end May 31. There are thirty-six weeks in one academic school year. Courses in the Grammar grades which may be made available include Latin, Choral Music and Art. All Dialectic/Rhetoric courses are available. Each child is limited to ten class meetings per week.
