Frequently Asked Questions
We just moved to South Florida and/or decided to homeschool. Can we enroll in classes now?
SFLHRC welcomes new families to enroll at any time as long as there is room in the requested classes. We keep class size limited to provide a personalized experience.
My child is a neurodivergent learner. Can he/she participate in SFLHRC classes and activities?
SFLHRC is an inclusive, academic, project-based program. With that said, please understand that there are certain academic skills that your child needs to be successful in the class. Read the descriptions CAREFULLY to make sure you are choosing the right classes for them!
Can my child try a class before committing to make sure they like it?
In order to make sure we have the minimum number of students to run a class, families are asked to commit by registering and pre-paying for a class. If a student is unsure of a class, please first arrange for a facility tour and, if possible, a short observation of a similar class already in progress.
Will my child have homework?
For ages 4 – 13, students will not have required homework. At times, for special programs, an instructor might encourage students to complete extension activities; however, it is up to the family if they want to complete this.
For high school students, yes, there will be mandatory homework as a way to ensure high school students are keeping up with the class material.
Do you accept FES-UA or PEP?
Yes, SFLHRC is an approved vendor with both FES-UA and PEP. At this point, we are now accepting EMA direct pay for classes and in-house activities and workshops. For social events and outings, we ask parents to register and pre-pay online. Then, request an itemized receipt. Once you receive the itemized receipt, submit it to FES-UA or PEP for reimbursement.
What if I need to withdraw from a class, field trip, or event that I registered for?
Once you register there are no refunds, no substitutions, no exchanges. Please be 100% certain when you register!
My child is 5 years old but wants to participate in a class that is ages 9 - 11.
SFLHRC is careful when designing classes for specific age groups. We understand and appreciate that homeschooled children are at a variety of levels. Please choose classes that match your child’s age. We have age spans for this reason. If you truly feel that your child can be successful in a class outside their age group, please speak to Eva, Luvia (Sunrise), or Rachel (Palm Beach) personally.
How many students are in a class at any given time?
SFLHRC’s class minimum is four. SFLHRC’s class maximum will be ten students in any class.
For events such as summer camps, field trips, Friday events etc. our numbers vary according to the event.
Do you give grades?
Since SFLHRC is a homeschool facility, we do not provide grades for children UNLESS they are part of our high school program.
Most classes serving preschool – eighth grade are enrichment classes. Teachers of high school classes will provide qualitative feedback on the student’s participation and understanding of the subject matter in addition to a letter grade. Parents can opt to do with this as they like.
Can I stay on site? Can I watch my child’s class?
At this point, SFLHRC is not equipped to have parents on site. When we do our first expansion, our goal is to have a separate parent lounge where parents can hang out.
We encourage parents to take advantage of this opportunity to run errands, go to Starbucks, go to the park, go shopping etc.
How does SFLHRC deal with religion?
SFLHRC is an all-inclusive environment open to all faiths. We are a secular program with no religious affiliation. All faiths are welcomed, celebrated, and encouraged to attend. Absolute respect for others is expected.
I noticed that the teacher that originally was scheduled for the class changed. What happened?
Unfortunately, once in a while, SFLHRC might have to replace an instructor. This might happen when an unexpected conflict arises in their schedule and/or life when something happens that affects their availability etc.
SFLHRC does not want to disappoint your children! We will work hard to find an amazing replacement from within our teacher pool. We would rather do this than cancel the class.
All SFLHRC instructors are professionals who have teaching experience, specifically with homeschoolers.
