Oversight Program
Our Oversight Program provides resources and information about how to get started, setting up a home school, lesson plans, grades, administrative oversight, instruction, accountability, and evaluation for each family’s home school program. We also offer bi-weekly updates, parent meetings, field trips, school pictures, special activities, and other programs.
Prince George’s Christian Academy Homeschool supervises individual programs of home instruction through operational guidelines, procedures, systems of accountability, and counseling adequate for program implementation and maintenance. The academy maintains the regular files and transcripts associated with normal academic procedures and acts as the official academic representative on behalf of each member’s home school program. However, it is still the parents who must maintain legal and academic responsibility for the education of their children.
OVERSIGHT INCLUDES:
Pre-enrollment Conference: Offers insight and information about our program. Provides an opportunity for families to be interviewed.
Central Record Keeping: Maintains office files including curriculum used, lesson plans, evaluations, standardized test scores, transcripts of grades, attendance, etc. The Academy also verifies instruction, facilitates transfer to other schools, and entrance into college.
Personal Consultation: Offers recommendations for setting up a course of study based on the individual student's strengths, interests, and areas of special needs
