Our
Philosophy
What is ACTS?
- An educational organization designed to provide support and
enrichment for home educating families. ACTS admits students of any
race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges,
programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to the
students. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational and
admissions policies.
- Our classes provide supplemental educational experiences on a weekly
basis to enrich and expand the educational plan the home-educating
family has for their students. (For example: The parent teaches
Apologia Biology curriculum at home; the ACTS Biology class provides the
required lab and associated activities in a group setting to supplement
this curriculum choice.)
- Our classes for grades K-12 offer over 50 elective and academic
subjects, and total over 80 in number as many classes are offered more
than one class period.
- We meet every Tuesday from early September to mid-May at Covenant
Church of God on Rio Road in Charlottesville, Virginia; five class
periods (55-min) begin at 11:00 and end at 4:30pm.
- Our Leadership consists of a self-perpetuating Board of Directors,
with members from both the community and from participating ACTS
parents; and a group of officers that manage the operational duties of
our organization.
- Our teachers are all highly qualified and gifted in their areas
of expertise, and many home educate their own children.
- All Board members, officers and faculty maintain an atmosphere
promoting Christian principles.
- Participation in ACTS classes includes:
Ø
Quality academic courses to enhance the student’s
educational experience
Ø
Classes offering the opportunity to take a broad range of
elective subjects
Ø
Valuable experience in a group-learning environment
Ø
Weekly connection with other area home-schooled students
Ø
Assistance for home-educating parents in curriculum choice
and scope/sequence planning
Ø
Opportunities requiring large groups not found in a single
home-schooling family setting such as chorus, drama productions, team
sports.
