2009-10 CLASS SCHEDULE

Classes at Basic Skills are intended to be supplemental to your homeschooling efforts; thus, while you may find they help meet most high school graduation requirements, some courses may need to be completed at home.

Enrollment Information
Admission to classes at Basic Skills is by application only. To apply, follow these steps:

  1. Download the Class Application, or email us to request an application be mailed to you.   
  2. Complete the application and mail it, along with the administrative fee of $115 before July 15th or $150 after July 15th (per family), and other required components to Basic Skills. You may also pay online using Paypal (click on "Add to Cart" below)

    Choose one:

  3. If you are a new family at Basic Skills, we will contact you to schedule an orientation meeting, at which time you will receive further enrollment information. If you are a returning student, the enrollment forms will be mailed to you or emailed at your request.
  4. Mail the enrollment forms you receive to each teacher to reserve a spot in each class.

Class Size
Class size varies, though typical enrollment is between 10-17 students. If a class is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, you will be notified by the teacher.

Attendance
Classes meet once or twice a week. Because of this, we will not observe some holidays, such as President's Day and Veteran's Day. Please refer to the School Calendar below or call our office if you have any questions about class cancellations.

Tuition, Times, & Fees
Tuition: Varies, see class descriptions for details.
Times: Some classes do not follow the standard timeline. Please see class descriptions for starting and ending times.


Fees: Book or materials/lab fees vary by course.

Textbooks
Textbooks must be purchased before the first day of class. Exodus Provisions (www.exodusbooks.com) sells all the textbooks that Basic Skills uses. Parents are responsible to purchase textbooks, unless otherwise noted in the course description. All textbooks purchased at Exodus will receive a 5% discount if you mention Basic Skills classes at the time of purchase.
