Homeschool

List of 2 items.

• 9-12 Grades

  Program Requirements
  CAK Homeschool accepts students in 9th through 11th grade into the program. The application deadline for each school year is August 15th. We also require an interview with the teacher on record (the primary teaching parent) for all students in 7th grade and older.
  
  Families with 9th-12th grade students are required to submit course titles and curriculum choices at the beginning of the year, and then grades and attendance at the end of each semester, or twice a year. Parents/guardians submit this information digitally through our data system, Stellar, from the convenience of their personal computer.
  
  High school students submit a work sampling portfolio to be reviewed by the guidance counselor each year. This allows the guidance counselor to celebrate the students' accomplishments and get to know them better. This is done in a one-hour portfolio review completed in late spring.
  
  Testing is required once for high school students. This requirement can be achieved through the PSAT test (10th-11th grades at CAK), the PACT for 9th-10th grades at CAK, or through taking the ACT or SAT.
  
  Parents/Guardians must ensure that a current Tennessee Department of Health student immunization record form PH-4103 (available from your Doctor or Health Department) or immunization exempt form (provided by CAK) is on file with us to be a family in good standing.  We also require a copy of your student's birth certificate.
  
  We offer a traditional graduation service at a local church for all graduating seniors with a cap and gown, a speaker, and CAK Homeschool diplomas.
  
  Teaching Criteria
  At least one parent must be a professing Christian who is part of a worshiping body of believers. The main teaching parent/guardian must not be employed outside the home between normal school hours (the state requires four hours of schooling per day), unless she/he has delegated this responsibility to a designated assignee.
