Hybrid School

A hybrid model of education is where students go to school a few days a week and learn at home a few days a week.  Our school provides the majority of the teaching and curriculum, with 3 full days of teaching.  Parents are still the ones primarily responsible for their children’s education and they must follow homeschool law.

The hybrid school currently serves students in PreK-5th Grade.  In the 2024-2025 school year, we will be adding a preschool class for those not quite ready for PreK and expanding our regular classrooms to 8th Graders.

Students will attend school with us every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for three 10-week sessions.  Parents can drop off their children anytime from 8:30-9:00am, the school day with core curriculum will go from 9:00am-2:00pm with an hour for lunch and recess, and then children can either get picked up or join our co-op extracurricular classes from 2:00-4:00pm.

Students will take part in a unique learning environment at Roots, very different from ones you would see at a public, private, or other hybrid school.  We believe in individualized learning, which we will ensure through evaluations to place children correctly in each subject, small class sizes, and constant communication with parents.  We also believe in fun, hands-on learning with games and activities throughout the day, and allowing our kids plenty of outdoor time.  Lastly, we will incorporate Christian principals and teachings throughout our curriculum, and ensure our students are learning good values and morals.

We expect parents to be very involved in their child’s education.  Parents will be responsible for 1-2 days of school at home each week.  There will be one math lesson and reading book required, helping complete any unfinished work, and making sure students understand what they have been taught.  We require our parents to volunteer at least 5 hours per child per session, which can take place through classroom help, cleaning, working events/fundraiser, or other means agreed upon.  Lastly, we expect parents to attend and invite others to our fundraisers, as that is how we can keep our costs so low.
