how to homeschool

Begin homeschooling by "enrolling" with either your district or with a private school, such as Family Tree Private School. ENROLLMENT APPLICATION Family Tree Private School is listed with The Florida Department of Education since 2000 (Madison County) for statewide enrollment offering privacy, one-on-one support, choice of curricula, official documentation, such as Report Cards and Transcripts, high-school credit for hobbies and working at home and access to classes and programs designed for private school students.

Parents can access our charts and forms whether they are enrolled as a homeschooler with the district or with Family Tree Private School when they become a member of Family Tree's Club. "Benchmarks" are outlines of everything a student must learn. These benchmarks refer to the content students should learn at each grade level (based upon the "experts") and are good to know when you want to individualize a student's education. Many programs will summarize similar benchmarks as their goals and objectives in their text books, cd roms, tutoring materials and certificate programs.
You can successfully homeschool once you adopt the right "strategies" that work for you! "Stratiegies" can include using goal charts, enforcing discipline, applying certain grading methods, following diploma tracks to pick courses, etc. Personalized strategies help you meet your student's needs and integrate and manage changes. Carefully thought out strategies will help you to integerate new online learning opportunities, such as a community-based program. Personalize your strategies to support your teaching style and your student's learning style.
