e-mail Ekcjmullins@aol.com HomeLink's purpose is to assist families with homeschooling and to provide support, encouragement, accountability, and training that will enhance the parent's role as parent-teacher. It is not really a school. Rather, the program links academics to the students at home. It operates as a "college model," allowing students to come to a class for one period per week, then accomplishing their study for that class at home, then returning the following week to review their work and move to the next lesson in the class. The targeted group for actual classes in HomeLink are grades 6-12 (sometimes younger). This year we are offering many classes--please consult the website for detailed descriptions and prices. The majority of the classes are offered on Thursdays with some on Wednesdays.
Courses offered: General Science, Physical Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics (the last 4 having labs), Spanish, German, Japanese, General Math for grades 4-8, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, English, Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW), American Literature, Composition, World History, British Literature, Composition, World Geography, Hands On English, Ancient Civilizations, Nutrition and Wellness, Missouri State History, Music Appreciation, ACT Prep, Personal Finance, Capsela Physics, Economics/Business & Advertising, Guitar, Developing Reading Skills, and Art.
