This organization provides support and legal aid when public personnel question your homeschooling. It is strongly recommended that you join this group although it is not required. Since we have been in business since 1981, many schools and school districts are familiar with our program. Each parent needs to allocate daily teacher-directed time during school hours as needed for student success. Adequate lesson plans must be maintained for teacher guidance and program review.
Parents are responsible to correct children's work and assign grades.
Reports will be provided to The Sycamore Tree at the end of each quarter and include lesson plans, student work samples, and quarterly progress reports. Parents will also adminstister tests and keep attendance records. With the online school, no lesson plans or reports are required. Upon completion of the high school program and demonstrated performance on proficiency tests, the student receives a diploma, printed in gold. Students with The Sycamore Tree diploma have attended many colleges, universities, and entered the armed forces.
