The Hybrid Academy at CHLG
The Hybrid Academy is a unique K-12 schooling opportunity that pairs classroom-based learning with home-based education, allowing for a rigorous academic program that can be tailored to the individual student's strengths and needs. Our hybrid micro-schooling model begins with the foundation of a Christian worldview and includes a tight knit learning community (less than 150 students total), small class sizes (10-12 students per class), professional instruction and parental support (parents provide one on one instruction and/or accountability in the home). Students have particular days when they attend classes and particular days that are reserved for study and completion of assignments at home. Our partnership with parents is a very important component of our program, as we believe parents are a child's first and most influential teacher, and as such our teachers ensure that parents have all the information needed to either direct their K-4th grade student in the home assignments, or to come alongside a middle or high school student to provide accountability and help with organization, study skills or specific coursework.
CHLG's Hybrid Academy is faith based in the Christian tradition and meets in the annex building of Washington Community Fellowship, 433 9th Street NE. For the 2021-22 school year we will offer classes for kindergarten through tenth grade (with a plan to expand through 12th grade by fall of 2023). We use an eclectic approach that includes elements of both the Classical and Charlotte Mason methods. Current tuition for 2020-21 is $5900/annually ($590/month) for Kindergarten, $6250/annually ($625/month) for the primary grades (1st-4th), $8250/annually ($825/month) for middle school (5th-8th) and $10,500/annually ($1050/month) for high school.
*Tuition for 2021-22 will be set by December 1, 2020.
The Hybrid Academy has a cooperative element, and parents/guardians are responsible to complete 25 volunteer hours (annually) for their first child involved, and 5 additional hours for each subsequent child. This helps to keep tuition costs down and encourages learning in community. See the FAQ tab on the homepage for more information regarding the volunteer expectations for participating families.
Families involved in the Hybrid Academy have the option of attending field trips with other families in the program one or two times per month (and siblings may attend these trips as well). Staff members plan some field trips, and families take turns planning trips as well (field trips are voluntary and are held on non-class days). Field trips may directly relate to current studies or may simply be interesting, educational opportunities that would peak the interest of the students. In addition to field trip opportunities, families often join together in scheduling weekly physical education, art or chess classes during non-class times either at the school or at nearby facilities. Families choose whether or not they would like to participate in these additional opportunities, and younger siblings can sometimes join in as well.
Numerous studies published over the past twenty years have indicated that parental involvement is a key element in a student's success in school. We are seeing this play out and are greatly encouraged by the academic and character growth we are seeing in our Hybrid Academy students. If your interest is peaked, please read more about our program under the Q & A section.
If you have interest in our unique schooling model please contact us. We would love to talk with you more about our program and offer you an opportunity to come for a school visit.
Blessings!
