Retention-Gap Year  - Filling Gaps and Giving Your Student Time to Succeed.
 
If your child is in need of an extra year of academic, emotional, physical, or social growth before moving on to the next grade level, then our Gap Year retention program may be right for you. Our Gap Year retention is a one year transition from traditional school, to homeschool, and then back to traditional school (unless you decide that homeschooling is perfect for you!). To see if your child is eligible for a retention year please begin the process by clicking here.  

Following the Covid-19 shutdowns, many students and families found a  retention year significantly helped overcome learning loss associated with school closures. 

The Gap Year allows your student to repeat the current grade level and fill any "gaps" in learning and maturity. While most students take a Gap Year just before high school, retention is available to students of any age who need an extra year of preparation before moving on to the next grade level.

As a homeschool parent, you play an important role in determining the best grade placement for your child, and our expert staff will help you navigate this decision wisely.  If you feel a retention year may be right for your child, please contact us for more information or click here to schedule a consultation.

 In consultation with the family, we will perform a comprehensive, holistic evaluation to determine the most appropriate grade placement for each student.

Designed to give students the very best preparation for the next grade level, high school, and beyond, our Gap Year retention program allows your student to enroll with us for a year of independent homeschooling, and then transfer into the school of your choice the following year.  While most families recognize the need for a Gap Year just before high school, when the most significant differences in readiness become obvious, students of all grade levels may be considered for our Gap Year retention program.

To see if your child is eligible for our Gap Year retention program, please begin the evaluation process by completing a Retention Request HERE.
