HOMESCHOOLING FOR YOUR FAMILY
Interest in Homeschooling is mounting, especially for those who wish to instill Biblical values in their children while providing them with a quality education. Many people are becoming more and more excited about this viable alternative to conventional or traditional, teacher centered education. Our "traditional classroom" of today was actually only introduced in our country as recently as the early 1900's. These one-room school houses served about 4 families each on average.
With proven statistics of high academic achievement and rich social and moral development, www.nheri.org, many are willing to introduce strong Biblical precepts to their children, and give homeschooling a try.
Family Tree Private School provides private school enrollment (as opposed to registering with the district as a homeschooler), and information services as well as formal documentation for parents to support them as they instill Godly character and academic excellence in the lives of their homeschooled children.

WHY A "600 SCHOOL" ?
The term “600 school” is used among homeschoolers referring to a private school organized exclusively for homeschoolers. The name reflects Florida statutes that relate to incorporation. Parents homeschool, yet they have added benefits of private school enrollment.
Florida home educators are all accountable to someone, in some way. While some list with the district superintendent (public homeschoolers), others will register with a private “600” school, (private homeschoolers) for the added benefits which are aimed at supporting the continuity of the homeschooling experience, as well as giving formal documentation.
Larger 600 schools may have activities similar to large support groups such as the Broward County PSG (Parent Support Group), while smaller schools will not. Students in these schools can, and should with guidance and support, join local support groups and explore community resources to enable them to enjoy a large array of activities. Not all 600 schools are reputable, just as there are varying levels of quality with all types of educational institutions. Tuition is $45 per month/per student, plus registration annually of $125. There are optional services and fees for tutoring and special education services if chosen.
At FAMILY TREE PRIVATE SCHOOL our goal is to edify and encourage parents to homeschool using Biblical principals, though we invite all to enroll whether "churched" or not. If you have any questions, click on this link to email the Director, Nancy Moral at:

WHAT EXACTLY DO WE DO
To briefly share about Family Tree Private School - Family Tree Private School is a private school exclusively for homeschooling families or home based programs for regular education students or those with disabilities.We provide one-on-one assistance and guidance plus documentation, transcripts, report cards, etc. Instead of signing up with the district superintendent as a homeschooler, those parents who want to have a "parent-directed education model" have their children sign up under Family Tree Private School, and the children would be considered private school students. We do not hold exclusive classes nor assign only one curriculum, though I will help parents pick a curriculum to use. We have articulation agreements with community colleges for dual enrollment and with Florida Virtual School. I also research relevant & important information to homeschoolers and refer my enrollees to support groups, on-line learning events, local classes or any other information I can help with. We strongly recommend membership in a local support group for activities and information to help in other areas. There are many great support groups in Florida for activities. There are also free special education services with the district when you are enrolled in our school. We are accredited and have articulation agreements with Florida Virtual School on-line and the local colleges for dual enrollment opportunities for 11th and 12th graders.Basic fees are $125 to register per year and $45 monthly for tuition. (10 months per year). Tuition for the entire year is due no matter how late in the year a student joins. (There is a $50 fee to graduate and other fees for incoming highschoolers if credits need to be reviewed or "tested in".) Other fees apply for basic administrative costs for arranging special services, such as those involved with processing scholarships (described below). Annual standardized testing is required and several options are available. Other extras such as IQ tests, tutoring, etc. are available either at our school or through referral, and parents must purchase their own curriculum.We do process scholarships, military vouchers and the like for those enrolled in our school (We no longer take the McKay). We simply charge a flat rate School Fee of 10% of the scholarship money received, in addition to the regular tuition and other fees that may apply. We provide services by making payments to contractors for educational services at approved sites. The 10% school fee is the basic administrative costs for arranging these services, i.e. processing contacts, scheduling, paying for services, processing tax forms, and providing on-going program evaluations (considered an inherent part of the costs for tutoring and therapies). The other 90% is spent where the parents choose for relevant educational classes or therapies. We evaluate the services parents choose to help match these services to (Individual Education Plan) IEP goals. Parents do not receive money directly, nor do we reimburse receipts. Parents must know the amounts and dates of payments for scholarships and keep track of the money they can expect to receive. Evaluation includes involvement and availability of tutors and therapists to determine if progress is being made. Identifying a lack of progress commensurate to students' abilities is grounds for discontinuing enrollment. There are deadlines to utilize these programs, as well as deadlines for schools to enroll your child in order for you to receive payments.
We support a strong, Biblically based approach to schooling and family life with high academic standards.
