-
Can I register my student part-time?
Students who wish to take only 2-3 classes can enroll in our Homeschool Enrichment (HSE) program. Requirements and benefits for this program differ from full-time enrollment. Please see our How to Apply & Enroll page for more details.

What if my student is advanced in math or writing?
In this case, you may enroll your student in a more advanced math or writing course. If they have already earned official high school credit for a recommended course, they should work with our Academic Counselor to decide which course to take instead.
