How can my high schooler earn high school credit hours?
When your child signs up for Academy Days, he or she is participating in a co-op, not taking a class. As such, parents are still the primary teachers of their children. We do not take that responsibility from the parents. To earn the high school credits suggested for each class, parents not only must ensure that their students complete all homework, but parents should also discuss topics during the week with their children in preparation for further class discussion, and they may also need to assign supplemental coursework at home. Additionally, parents administer tests and determine final grades. To use a science class as an example, such as chemistry or physical science, students read the text book and answer questions during the week at home; then at co-op once a week, they do the experiments and participate in discussion. They take the tests at home.
