Most tutors agree that these students do not have the usual apathetic and disrespectful attitude often seen in junior high and high schools. Being with fellow homeschooled students, enjoying the fellowship and support in the higher grades, and forming great friendships are some of the reasons the students keep coming back for more. Having this support makes encourages students to stay homeschooled. The STAR program seeks to create an environment that is academically challenging, spiritually uplifting and socially safe for fostering friendships. A signed copy indicating agreement and compliance of the following standards must be included with registration materials.

Students are to maintain appropriate grooming and clothing standards. Neat and proper dress has a definite bearing in producing an environment conducive to learning, displays an attitude of respect to those around you, and enhances and prepares the student for success in the workplace. Hats and sunglasses are not permitted in the classroom or study hall. Students are expected to complete appropriate course work at home, come to class on time, bring necessary supplies, and be prepared to participate. If the parent is excusing their student from specific work assigned, they must contact the tutor in writing prior to or at the time the work is due.
