SCV homeschooling parents are deeply invested in their children’s academic, emotional and spiritual growth, participating hands on to ensure that their kid gets everything they need to thrive.
But sometimes it can be hard work – not to mention an energy drain on the primary parent educator.
That’s why nearly 50 Santa Clarita students and their homeschooling families count on Legacy Christian Academy’s Beacon Program, a carefully-crafted on-campus experience for homeschooled kids in grades kinder through sixth.
While Mom or Dad runs errands (or just takes a well-deserved day off!), Beacon students are fully engaged in Science, Spanish, Writing, Mathematics and Drama courses, all taught by the award-winning Legacy Christian staff.
This once-a-week Friday experience includes opportunities to attend Chapel worship, visit the school library and enjoy a supervised lunch with friends.
Beacon students can take full advantage of Legacy’s Accelerated Reader and MIND Math programs and are also invited to major Legacy functions like the famous Thanksgiving Feast, Snow Day and VIP Day.
Students are divided into classes based on learning clusters capped at 20 students, ensuring plenty of personalized attention and wonderful socialization with their peers.
Enrollment packets are available year round, as are campus tours.
Local homeschooling families are also encouraged to utilize social media to foster connections and community. A quick Facebook search for “Homeschool Santa Clarita” turns up three distinct groups with info on upcoming kid-run book club meetings, park playdates and more. Santa Clarita libraries also provide classes, clubs and resources to homeschooled and traditionally-educated children in our community.
Homeschooling doesn’t have to be overwhelming to parent or child. Utilizing local and online resources can result in a truly-customizable, enriching experience for the entire family.
Legacy Christian Academy is located in Valencia. For more information, please call 661-257-7377.
