Do the children have homework/projects to complete at home?
Our younger elementary students receive a daily reading assignment, even if it is to listen to a story we provide. As children progress, the homework increases with their ability to work independently. Our older students receive homework for each subject, which should take 30 min to an hour nightly. Hands-on projects and reports are also assigned and are listed on the syllabus for each class. Our policy on homework is that it is independent practice of skills that have already been taught or concepts that can be more fully developed. It is to improve mastery of a skill. It also gives parents an idea of the topics and level that the child is working on.
