Orientations: Getting You Ready for Success

Confidence is essential to success—and that’s exactly what our Orientation sessions are designed to build. At NFC Academy, we know that starting something new can feel overwhelming, especially in education. That’s why we offer Orientation sessions to help both students and parents feel prepared, informed, and confident from day one.

You can choose from three live Orientation options based on your selected program.

  1. Live Orientation for Online Programs
  2. Live Orientation for Digital Streaming Video Lessons with Textbooks (K–2nd Grade)
  3. Live Orientation for the Print-Based Book Program

We understand that busy schedules can make live attendance difficult. That’s why we also provide recorded versions of each Orientation session, so you can watch at your convenience—anytime, anywhere.

Because we believe so strongly in the value of Orientation, completion is required before students begin their coursework or receive materials such as books, textbooks, and access to video lessons. These sessions are filled with the guidance, tools, and resources you’ll need to get started successfully.

We want you to thrive from the very beginning—and Orientation is the first step. Whether you join us live or watch the recorded session, we know you’ll benefit greatly from the information and support provided.

NFC Academy Homeschool  Online Programs

Join Us for a Virtual Visit to NFC Academy!

We’re excited to welcome you to our Virtual Orientation, where we’ll guide both parents and students through key information about our online homeschool programs. This informative session will help you understand the options available and what to expect as part of the NFC Academy experience.

Our orientation covers all of our online homeschool programs, including:

  • Homeschool Advantage Program (HSA) – For grades 3–12, this program features NFC Academy teachers as the primary instructors, offering full academic support.

  • Homeschool Edition (HSE) and Homeschool Plus (HSP) – These programs use the same curriculum, but with the parent serving as the primary teacher. HSE and HSP are designed for different grade levels.

  • Homeschool Basics – This program uses the same curriculum as our other offerings but does not include teacher support. As a result, it is not accredited and is not approved by the NCAA.

Please note, the offline activities are required and at times will be graded by the Home Teacher.

  • Complete Core Curriculum (K–2)
    All essential subjects in one cohesive package to meet your students’ needs.
