School starts in ONE month!

Have you been thinking of homeschooling? (Longleaf, New Port Richey)Beginning August 19, Academy Private Home School will begin the 2013-2014 school year for second through sixth graders! This is NOT online school; it is a small, Christian, classroom environment with less than ten students, small group lessons, specials, lunch, recess, and after school care. I have been a classroom teacher in Pasco County for 17 years and have become disillusioned with the way our country has taken public education. I find it ethically wrong to stress children out over a standardized test that may or may not give accurate results and I find it unethical to pay teachers "commission" based on their students' FCAT results.Whether your second grade student is on a fourth grade level or your fourth grade student is on a second grade level, children's needs will be met. Our children are our future and I intend to teach them to embrace that power and responsibility. Register now!Please check out the details at: academyprivatehomeschool.weebly.com or call 727-835-9342 to speak to Melanie Bacca. Think about it!
