Who we are
Educare Christian Cottage School offers academic classes for homeschool students grades Kindergarten through 12th on Fridays from September through May.
The word “education” is derived from the Latin root educare; meaning to feed and nourish. With this mindset, teachers incorporate hands-on, interactive, higher level thinking activities based on Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning.
Students are encouraged to question, contemplate, and create.
Grades and credits
Grades and high school credits will be determined and verified by the parent. Teachers are available for private consultation to discuss each student’s progress and academic standing, if requested by parent.
Educare does not give grades, as the parent is considered to be the primary educator, and will make the determination of the student’s progress and skill set abilities.
Transcript credits are not maintained by Educare. Parents are responsible for all credit verification.
Tuition
Tuition may be paid in full at the time of registration or follow the six-month payment schedule from May-October.
Registration fee of $295 per family and tuition payments are non-refundable.
If payments are not received by the due dates, it may result in forfeiture of the students’ enrollment in the program, and space may be given to the next student on the waitlist.
Class prices range from $13-$16 per class, per week. Classes meet on Fridays for a total of 26 weeks.
Middle and high school students have the option of picking non-consecutive classes and adding a study hall period for a nominal fee. Elementary students must take consecutive classes. Students are allowed to enroll in just one class if desired with pickup immediately after.

Tiered learning
Educare classes will utilize the mindset of Bloom’s Taxonomy of classification levels for intellectual behavior in learning.
Homework assignments will have “For Everyone” to complete, and will offer tiered assignments as well.
Providing tiered levels will allow for students/parents to choose which type of assignment best fits the skill set of the individual student, while aspiring to achieve the highest level of cognitive learning.
