Green Valley Christian Home School Branch

Statement of Purpose

Program Overview

Green Valley Christian Home School ministry firmly believes the Biblical principle that parents are given the primary responsibility by God for educating and training their children. The purpose of establishing a  Home School  ministry is to provide covering, support, encouragement, responsibility, and accountability for Christian families who choose to educate their children in a home environment.

The Green Valley Christian Home School program consists of: 
- Education that occurs in the home
- On campus events scheduled for home school parents to come together and provide group learning
- Participation in regular school activities on campus such as Praise and Worship, after school sports, band, choir, and other curricular activities.

Ongoing Parent Responsibilities

Application Procedures

In order to insure accountability and provide necessary documentation, the teaching parent will be responsible for the following:

*  Selecting and purchasing curriculum.

*  Setting up a learning environment within 
    your home where your child can study.

*  Preparing a yearly goal sheet.

*  Keeping daily attendance records.

*  Writing weekly lesson plans.

*  Meeting with the director and/or supervisor on a monthly basis, and bringing appropriate materials, i.e., lesson plans and samples of work.

*  Filling out a report card each trimester.

*  Having your child present and on time for SATs.

*  Attending parent meetings.

*  Joining the Home School Legal Defense  Association.  

1. Complete the student application and return it to the school office. 

2. All new  applicants must have an interview with the director. It is mandated that both parents attend the interview along with the school-age child(ren). The director will call to set up an appointment time.

3. We believe it is valuable for you to have the support of your local pastor in your home schooling efforts. Parents will need to ask their pastor to complete the Pastoral Reference Form and return it to the school office.

4. After a family has been accepted into the program parents must sign a release form authorizing GVCS to obtain the child's cumulative records. If the child is beginning kindergarten, a cumulative file will be started for him/her. The file will be kept at the GVCS office.  Registration fees will be due upon acceptance into our program.

5. Students must have current health records and immunization records in their cumulative file, as required by the State of California
