Northwest Prep Homestudy
Our Homestudy program supports 50 students and is a K-12 educational alternative supporting an at-home learning environment. The program allows for personalized learning and day-to-day support provided by district-certified classroom and specialized teachers, vetted common core and UC A-G curriculum and materials, as well as other resources and supports tailored to the individual student. The program is able to accommodate students with various learning styles as teachers work with students and adults to customize curriculum and materials that work best for each. Teachers are able to respond to the needs of each student by switching materials (both traditional and computer-based options are available), adding additional on-campus support, and more. This unique program allows students the flexibility of designing their own schedules while adhering to strict assignment completion and teacher meeting mandates outlined in program contracts. Tiers of support are utilized to ensure student progress as well as determine the appropriateness of this program for struggling students. All contracts are updated and signed annually to ensure adherence to current laws.
The NWP Homestudy program has recently been working hard to incorporate PBL into its curriculum. This work has been supported through teacher grants and a desire to improve the program resulting in interdisciplinary projects, field trips, project exhibitions, and more. The incorporation of increased on-campus academic support time as well as social and enrichment activities provided weekly to all students, as well as added clubs and leadership opportunities working with PBL students, have proven to further enrich the Homestudy experience.
