Legacy Homeschool Center

A homeschool co-op P.O. Box 3325, Redmond, WA 98073-3325

Web site: www.legacyhc.org

Our Mission Statement

In order to further equip parents, who are ultimately accountable for the instruction and training of their children, the mission of Legacy Homeschool Center is to establish a Christian homeschool cooperative that would endeavor:

For Parents: To provide academic instruction, which would enhance their effort as they fully accept the biblical responsibility to “train up a child in the way he should go.” (Proverbs 22:6)

For Children: To provide excellent academic instruction from a Biblical Christian worldview ~To inspire a love for learning~

~To equip them to think clearly, concisely, and critically with character reflecting that of our Lord, Jesus Christ. (1 Cor. 8:1b)

Welcome to our 14th year of homeschool enrichment!

Legacy is d esigned to offer homeschool enrichment electives to parents who are homeschooling in the state of Washington under the Home-Based Instruction law, RCW 28A.200.010. We meet Thursdays, September through June (see schedule for specific dates), at Overlake Christian Church, located at 9900 Willows Rd. NE, Redmond, WA.

The instructors determine the course content, materials, and cost of each class. All instructors are required to sign and be in agreement with our Sta tement of Fa ith and Missi on Statement (available upon request). Parents are welcome a nd highly encouraged to attend classes with their children.

Legacy Homeschool Center does not employ instructors. They are under the employ of the families who have a student attending his/her class. For this reason, we do not pay the teachers; you, the parents, pay the teachers directly through a facilitator. The Board does, however, maintain supervisory authority. School Distri ct funds may not be used to pay for tuition, fees, and/or registration, or for the reimbursement thereof.

We cannot guarantee you will get the class(es) you request; however, each full class will maintain a waiting list.

All parents are required to:

♦ Fulfill an assigned job, and be available to provide additional assistance if needed.

♦ Remain within Legacy boundaries the entire time your children are at Legacy.

♦ Pay tuition for classes on time.

♦ Submit a copy of the declaration of intent to homeschool by 9/22/11 for each child in your family aged 8 and older who is attending Legacy.

Failure to fulfill these requirements will jeopardize your privilege to participate in this co-op.

The difference is an emphasis beyond the discussion of 'naturalism' vs. 'creation'; and centers on making sure the student is confident in his origin, identity, destiny, value and purpose. This class explores the current dominant culture of Naturalism (secular materialism) and associated evolutionary studies. Students learn the foundational arguments of the naturalistic culture, and more importantly, the student learns how to answer these arguments using disciplined science and logic. Creation Science is emphasized, and students are introduced to that place where physics meets metaphysics, where we discover the imprint of cre ation in the natural realm. Moreover, the students are encouraged to learn the meaning of this imprint a nd how we should be us ing it to enlarg e the Kingdom of God.

T he program uses manipulatives to teach students to solv e equations and verbal problems. Once concepts are mastered, students transition to the tradi tional "paper and pencil" approach to solving equations. This method strengthens the student' s understanding of algebraic concepts, problem solving and mental math skills, all while having fun. Students must have a firm understanding of adding, subtracting and basic multiplying/dividing skills. Most work will be done during class.

We will dissect the elements of common communication and identify the skills needed to design, develop, and deliver a speech to a live audience. Every student will have the opportunity to give an informative, persuasive, inspirational, impromptu, and testimonial speech. We will also have professional guest speakers demonstrate the art and share practical tips i nto the world of speech.

The titles we read will vary each year, but p ossibilities and past works include: The Yearling, Roll of T hunder Hear My Cry, Johnny Tremain, And Then There Were None, Summer of My German Soldier, The Prince and the Pauper, and various short stories, and poems.

Description: A solid understanding of gr ammar is usefu l for improving writing skills and learning a foreign language. Shurley Grammar is an extremely effective program for the acquisition and retention of grammar concepts. Chants an d jingles are used to learn the parts of speech, their function and how to locate them in a sente nce. Punctuation, capitalization, editing, synonyms/antonyms will also be taught.
