Parents have a duty to ensure that their children receive a quality education.  Some choose to do this at home.  Willow Bend Academy offers professional support to families who choose this method of education.

Home study offers most of the same advantages, including accreditation, as the On-Campus Academy at a lower cost.  Students complete at home the same academic requirements as the on campus students, with testing done on campus.

Why choose Willow Bend Academy’s home study?

     The reasons are varied. Below are some possibilities. 

1. •Some families travel frequently and the absenteeism will result in automatic loss of credit in public schools.
   

1. •Some students are needed at home due to their own, or their parent’s health issues and cannot attend class on a regular basis. 
   

1. •Parents may object to the content of courses taught in public schools.
   

1. •Parents desire to have their children educated at home, but feel academically inadequate to plan and teach higher level subjects.
