ONLINE PROGRAM ORIENTATION AND MORE | (GRADES 3-12)

NFC Academy Homeschool  Online Programs

Join us as we host you for a visit to the virtual campus of NFC Academy. In our virtual orientation, we will cover some helpful areas for both the parent and student in our session. These sessions cover all of our online homeschool programs including:

  • NFC Academy Teacher Program called the Homeschool Advantage Program (HSA) and includes grades 3-12 – You have selected NFC Academy teachers to be the primary teachers who will do all the grading and provide help to students in their course.
  • Homeschool Edition (HSE) and Homeschool Plus (HSP) Online Programs – Similar programs just for different grades. HSE and HSP use the same curriculum with the difference being the parent is the primary teacher grading all work not graded by the Learning Management System (LMS – Ignitia) and providing student help.  Both these programs are accredited like the program above – HSA.
  • Homeschool Basics – This is the same curriculum as the others but there is no teacher support so this program is not accredited nor approved by the NCAA. We will provide report cards and a transcript for high school students if the work is done as described above for the HSE and HSP programs…all required assignments completed and work done in order as presented in the online curriculum.

BOOK PROGRAM ORIENTATION | (GRADES 1-4)

NFC Academy Kindergarten and Book Program 1st-4th Grades Orientation

This orientation session is for our homeschool families in the Kindergarten and Book Program for 1st-4th grades. We will tell you about the programs and give you important information to help you get started.

In our session we will look at the grading portion of both the Kindergarten and the Book Program for grades 1-4. Student learning and performance improves in their academic work when they get positive feedback from their grades and they are well prepared for an upcoming assessment with important feedback on earlier work concepts. As an accredited program there are expectations we must meet for these programs.

We will briefly cover the courses for the grades, information about using the NFC Academy Daily Lesson Planner, and introduce you to the online gradebook for Kindergarten and Book Program grades 1-4. There are both home teacher resources and student resources we will show you for your homeschool program. Please register for the webinar with the buttons.

You may watch a pre-recorded version of the orientation session at your convenience. The Handbook for  the Kindergarten and Book Program is below along with a power point for the video.

      Full Time Students

      Academic Work

        NFC Academy enrolls all students to the standard 180 school-day year or 90 school-day semester for their academic work. Most states have compulsory attendance requirements although when you enroll at NFC Academy we are a registered private school with the Department of Education in Florida and follow their procedures and requirements. We do not specifically notify school districts in other states if a student is not meeting compulsory attendance, but we will take action for students who fail to complete assignments over a four-week period (30-day period).

        Attendance at NFC Academy is a parent/guardian controlled decision. We note often that there is flexibility in the schedules of our students and the days taken off are the responsibility of the parent/guardian and the student to manage. No absence must be reported to us, but you can report to us if you choose. When no work is completed over a four-week (30-day-period), NFC Academy may initiate an administrative withdrawal and make the final results of the withdrawal a failure academically with a grade of F-P (Failure – To Progress). Tuition and a withdrawal fee will be due at the time of the administrative withdrawal of a F-P status. Parents/guardians will be notified multiple times over the 30-day period and a final notice giving five days grace for parental/guardian to contact the Academy to pause the F-P on the student’s academic record and begin academic work.

        Homeschool and Your State

        NFC Academy is a private school registered as such in the State of Florida with the Florida Department of Education. We are accredited as a private school by Cognia/SACS, the Middle States Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Education and the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools and a member of the National Council of Private School Accreditation.

        NFC Academy follows the statutory responsibilities of the Florida Departement of Education in our operation. Because of the vast number of counties in the United States and other governing bodies around the world we do not know the specifics of their requirements.  It would be the responsibility of the parent/guardian to determine if NFC Academy meets all requirements of any specific requirements of another local, state, national or other governing authority.

        Finish Your School Year

          As an accredited private school, NFC Academy meets compulsory attendance requirements for our students. There is flexibility in our homeschool program related to your daily schedule and taking time off from school.

          Students may start their school year at any time of the calendar year and they will have their own unique school year meeting the standard 180/90 school day for the year/semester requirement.

          A student’s school year can be extended beyond the regular school year up to two additional months which would be a calendar year if the student has made consistent academic progress. Medical reasons and other emergencies like long-term interruptions of services due to weather issues does allow for further extensions to be considered.

          If You Choose to Leave

            Need to withdraw from your courses? Our hope is that you will stay with us, but if that is your decision we will work to make your withdrawal as easy as possible.

            Online Grades 3-12 – NFC Academy encourages online students to use our Try An Online Lesson Now page before enrollment and parents have our 14-Day Money Back Guarantee for any new online students where any tuition paid will be refunded if leaving during that period. The Registration Fee of $100 and the Reservation Fee of $20 would be non-refundable. After the 14-Day Money Back Guarantee, withdrawals fall under our one-semester requirement. Enrollment in all online programs at NFC Academy is for a minimum of one semester. If a student leaves during the first semester the balance of tuition for that semester is due along with the withdrawal fee.  After the first semester, the only thing due upon transfer is the withdrawal fee of $75 per student when withdrawing during the semester and any unpaid tuition for the period attended during that semester. There are no withdrawal fees when withdrawing at the end of a semester.

            When we receive the formal request to withdraw, the withdrawal process will be completed within about five (5) business days.

             

            Book Program Kindergarten – 4th Grade – Enrollment in the book program is for a minimum of one semester. Once books are shipped, the tuition for the semester becomes due and costs spread over payments, paid annually or semi-annually. Those who select our monthly payment option would have the balance for the semester due upon notification for withdrawal. We usually only ship books by the semester because of accreditation requirements for the completion of one semester before further work is done. If both semester of books are shipped then it is important to complete academic work in order starting with the day one assignment. If the full year was paid in full and the student left NFC Academy at the end of the first semester the balance paid for the year would be refunded. Withdrawal during the semester has a $75 withdrawal fee, but there is no withdrawal fee for leaving at the end of the semester.

            If we have failed to meet your expectations, we do ask that you share with us the specific areas we missed and we will review and if making a change does not run against accreditation or statutory requirements we will try to make adjustments.

            NFC Academy will forward our records to the next school to be attended once the process is completed. Click here and complete the Withdrawal Form.
