Every student is different, and every family has different needs with regard to the education of their children, which is why FOFCAI offers multiple enrollment Programs as well as add- on Components that can be taken individually. For many, enrolling as a full-time student so they have full academic records and can earn an accredited High School Diploma is the best option. For others, the part-time or "Flex" student option completely meets the need. Regardless of where you are in the process, if you have quesions, please contact the school office on how we may be able to partner with your family on this journey.

Home Based Programs

Education does not always take place at a school’s physical location with a stranger as the teacher. For most of America's history, parents directed their children's education. It worked for our Founding Fathers, and now it is the first choice of many families. FOFCAI partners with those parents to provide a real world education, with the full administrative services and counseling of an accredited private school including, progress reports, and an accredited High School Diploma when the student completes the program, regardless of where home is.
Annual Enrollment in the Home-Based Program $725 (Does not include Curriculum.)

The lack of proper reading instruction has become a national crisis. Taking students back to a proper phonetic program can correct the bad programing most students have received, even those labeled as dyslexic. If you or your student has trouble reading, then you are not alone. Most estimates are that more than sixty percent of students cannot read and comprehend at grade level!
