Program Partnership
The Homeschool Enrichment Program is provided by Ascent Classical Academy of Douglas County, a public charter school offering a classical, liberal arts education to students in grades K-12. The mission, vision, core virtues, and curriculum are consistent in both programs. Homeschooled students are invited to join the full-time students in extracurriculars and all-school events. Homeschool enrichment teachers participate in faculty training with full-time teachers, and receive administrative support from Ascent Classical Academy administration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the cost of the program?
A: This is a publicly-funded, tuition-free program. There is a student fee of $75 per student (with a family cap of $225). There are no student supply lists. This fee covers all of your student’s books and supplies.
Q: Is my student required to wear a uniform?
A: Yes. In order to facilitate an atmosphere of learning and respect, students will be required to wear a uniform. Click for more details about uniforms.
Q: Will my student have homework?
A: You should expect weekly at-home work for students in grades 3-8. This work will include poetry memorization, reading for literature and history, and occasional work from other classes to supplement in-class learning. By having students complete a small amount of work at home each week, we are able to use class time for rich discussion, presentations, and valuable in-person instruction.
