BEGINS THIS WEEK!

TK-8 Curriculum Showcase Virtual Roadshow!

Big picture

The South Schools' Family Liaisons are joining together to bring our families 'Themed Curriculum Weeks!' Each week has its theme; All-In-One Curriculum, Math, Language Arts, History, Science, and Subscription Boxes. You can find the dates and links in the flyer above for these.

Throughout each themed week, we are scheduling webinars with curriculum companies to share more about their product. Check out the schedule below - we are adding more every week!


Join us each week as we present a showcase of popular (school approved and secular) curriculum to our community!

Curriculum Company Webinars!

We are excited to announce that as part of our themed curriculum weeks this summer, our families will have the opportunity to learn more about some popular curriculum options directly from the vendors! Check back weekly as we add more webinars and instructions on how to sign up to attend!

ChoicePlus Academy MIDDLE SCHOOL


Hi 7th and 8th-grade Students,


We have been so successful with our Choice Plus Academy classes for high school students, we have decided to offer them to 7th and 8th-grade students as well. This platform allows students to meet virtually weekly with the same instructor and the same group of students. They will have a dedicated teacher who assigns, collects, and grades all work.


This is a great option for students who would like to be independent or parents who would like a teacher to take over a particular subject. It also works well for students who like the "classroom" environment. Let your teacher know if you're interested!



____________________________________


CPA courses are taught live by highly qualified teachers (HQTs), and are comprehensive and meet state and Common Core standards.


What these courses include:


1. A live online teacher 1-2 times per week at a scheduled time teaching live online lessons.


2. That live teacher oversees your student’s progress and provides office hours if they have questions about their lessons.


3. That live teacher will help grade your student's work.


This is a great new option for our families with middle schoolers!



Check out all the 2020/21 South Schools' Adopted Curriculum options HERE.

Mission Vista Academy Family Liaisons

Audrey Everson

Hi everyone! I am a mom of 3 awesome kids ranging in age from 11 to 7 years old. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been married for 17 years. Having homeschooled our children over the last 8 years in 3 different states, I've found homeschooling here in California, especially with Mission Vista Academy, has been a great fit for our homeschool journey. I am grateful for our ability to homeschool so freely and I aspire to assist other families with their own homeschool adventures!

Robi Frederick

Hi there! I am a mom of two girls, 10 and 11 years old, and have been homeschooling from the start. I am also the wife of a very supportive hubby of almost 14 years. We are raising our children in the Coachella Valley and excited to see how the homeschooling community has grown in our area, as well as the resources. I am very grateful that I have this opportunity to homeschool my children. I love to help and encourage families and assist in building our homeschooling resources in the Desert Area.

Andrea Hart

Hello! My name is Andrea Hart, and I am a homeschooling momma of two beautiful girls. Thanks to Mission Vista Academy, we have been homeschooling for 2 years and absolutely love the freedom and new learning experiences that it provides us daily. Homeschooling has changed our lives for the better, and I can’t wait to help other families learn, grow, and navigate through this extraordinary journey. I'm here to help encourage, guide, and answer any question you may have! I can’t wait to connect with you.

We want to hear from you!

What do you want to hear more about? Drop us an email!

We'd love to answer all of your questions in regards to homeschooling

and what the homeschool lifestyle looks like!
