2025/2026 Homeschool Preparation Course (link) - You complete the course by reading and reviewing all the material in the course and then taking the quizzes and answering all the discussion questions.

New parents should try to finish Modules 1-3 within the first 2 weeks of enrollment as these will teach you how to do attendance , how to order in Bookmart, how to upload portfolios, etc. Each module should take 30-60 min. It is ideal for you to finish them within the first two months of enrollment but required by May.
