More for Your Teacher Training
In the Accelerate Learning Program for Kindergarten through 2nd Grade, you will take on the role of the primary teacher for your child. However, the core instructional content is delivered through daily online modules in each subject, reducing your need for daily lesson preparation.
Your primary responsibility will be serving as a Learning Coach—reviewing the material presented each day, supporting your child’s understanding, and ensuring lessons are completed. You will also be responsible for grading assignments that are not automatically scored by the system. Timely grading is important, as it helps both you and your child identify areas that may need additional review.
We provide helpful resources to support you as you begin this journey. Use these tools to create a strong foundation for success in your homeschool. Set up a dedicated learning space and establish a consistent daily schedule—and most importantly, stick with it. Routine and structure are key to helping your child thrive academically and grow in confidence.
Grading Supporting the Learning Process
Home Teachers using Ignitia Online for grades 3–12, Accelerate Online for grades K–2, or BJU Press Digital Streaming Video for grades K–2 are responsible for ensuring that all academic work is graded accurately and promptly. Your Resource Teacher is available to answer questions and provide guidance, but does not grade your student’s work.
Grading is an essential part of the educational process. Timely, meaningful feedback helps students understand their progress, correct mistakes, and master concepts before moving forward. Keeping grading current supports success in the student’s present courses and preparation for the next grade.
Consistent grading is also a key requirement of our accredited Home Teacher programs. These programs share our commitment to academic standards comparable to those of the NFC Academy Teacher Program. By keeping grading accurate and up to date, Home Teachers help fulfill that commitment and support their student’s learning.

NFC Academy provides Resource Teachers to assist families in meeting these academic responsibilities.
Home Teacher Faculty Progress Reports are reviewed twice each month, at the beginning and middle of the month, to monitor grading and student assessments.
When grading falls outside Academy expectations, the Resource Teacher will contact the family to provide guidance and encourage timely completion of outstanding grading.
If grading delays continue, a live video conference with the appropriate Department Head will be required to review expectations and develop a plan for improvement.
Continued failure to maintain grading and assessment standards may result in a temporary suspension of student course access until outstanding grading responsibilities have been completed.

Working Together for Student Success
Our goal is not simply to establish grading deadlines, but to ensure that every student receives the academic attention necessary for successful learning.
Accreditation brings both benefits and responsibilities. Families enrolled in our accredited Home Teacher programs enjoy the flexibility of home education while sharing in the responsibility of maintaining NFC Academy’s academic standards.
We appreciate the dedication of our Home Teachers and encourage families to communicate with their Resource Teacher whenever assistance is needed. Working together, we can provide students with a quality Christian education built on academic excellence, personal attention, and meaningful learning.

To support you, we provide the NFC Academy Daily Lesson Planner as your guide for each day’s Bible content. The planner outlines lessons for a five-day week, giving you a clear path as you begin this journey together. You are welcome to adjust the schedule as needed to best fit you and your student.
We are thankful to offer one of the finest Bible curriculums available, and we encourage you to make each day a special opportunity to discover more about God and His wonderful creation throughout this school year.
