Cedarcreek Schoolhouse Academy

Welcome to Cedarcreek Schoolhouse Academy. The purpose of this web is to enhance the services we provide to our students. We've provided a number of resources here to help you resolve problems, report bugs, and suggest improvements to our services.

Dear Parent,

     The information in the enrollment packet has been designed to explain what the Tennessee Homeschooling Law is about and to enroll your student(s) in Homeschooling.  PLEASE READ THE PACKET CAREFULLY! If you are willing to make the commitment to Homeschooling, please follow the steps to enroll.

     At CSA we firmly believe that homeschooling is a wonderful option for some families.  We work hard to be your homeschooling partner, and we are available to help answer your questions, find solutions to your problems, and help you provide the best education for your student(s).  There are definite ADVANTAGES to homeschooling for many families.  A few of these are: 1) the student receives more help with his/her studies, more reinforcement of his/her work, and more one-to-one help; 2) the student has a more flexible study schedule; 3) the homeschool family has more quality time together; and 4) the homeschool family has more control over the curriculum and the way in which it is taught.

     There are, of course, some CONCERNS that families should consider in their decision to homeschool.  A few of these are: 1) homeschooling is HARD work for the parent--there are lessons to plan, teach, and grade; 2) there is paperwork to keep--attendance and grades; and 3) if you at sometime decide to return your student(s) to public or private school, your student may be TESTED to determine if their work or credits will be accepted.

     Please consider what is best for your student and your family. Read this packet carefully and completely.  Call the school if you have questions or want to make an appointment to come in and talk with us. Attend a parent support group meeting to see how you can become a great homeschooling family.  We have seen the benefits for ten years.  Our Graduates are in colleges and vocational schools throughout Tennessee and other states.  Homeschoolers traditionally make higher scores on their standardized tests and on the ACT.  Homeschooling is an EXCELLENT choice for many families.  Try it and see what you can give your children--a GREAT EDUCATION.

Sincerely yours,
