We understand that moms with littles may choose to attend only part of the day.  Just remember that any child in the program must have a participating parent on campus.  Participating Parent means that they are actively helping in a class or are participating in our mom’s class (1x per day) each hour your family is on campus.

Scholars who are not enrolled in a class need to be assigned as a helper in another class or go home with their family.

As a family school all mothers & fathers have a n integral role and part. All will serve where they will have the greatest amount of joy to create a beautiful environment for all.  Mothers (or fathers) will work as mentors, helpers, administrators, and tutors.  We are not a drop off school.  This ensures that everything runs smoothly.  If your children are on campus we ask that a parent is on campus participating in the work of the school. 

We can not have unattended youth wandering the building or the grounds.  If a scholar is not registered for a class we ask that they are taken off campus or work as an assistant in another class (must be pre-approved by the Governing Board).
