If you've never been a confident writer, it's difficult to know how to lead your kiddo in the right direction. IEW is an incremental approach to building skills and techniques which turn writing into a truly accessible and enjoyable artform anyone can learn. We offer 3 levels of IEW, using the texts below.

Science Weekly Meeting, Grades K-7
Tuesday Afternoons, 2:00 - 3:15, $175 per year
For a home school parent, "doing science right" can be challenging because labs and activities often require copious amounts of time, energy and money. It's our pleasure to prepare and facilitate those experiences for your student at The Well. This year, we'll be providing first-class concept explanations and hands-on learning opportunities to supplement the Apologia text: Earth Science (Notebooking Journal is an optional component for interacting with the textbook at home)

Your student won't need to purchase a textbook this year. We'll be compiling resources from a variety of places to provide the text, images and activities to transport your kiddo to Medieval Times!

Small Group Daily Classes
Your home school student can "jump in" alongside our full-time kiddos in any of the classes you choose.
Monday - Thursday Mornings, $75 per month
Sometimes teaching math is just "not your thing." If you'd rather leave this part of your kiddo's schooling to the professionals, we'd be happy to help! At the elementary levels, we can flex to the curriculum of your choice, or offer suggestions to match your student's unique learning needs. For 7th - 8th grades, we use Saxon Math, and for 9th - 12th grades, we use the McGraw Hill series shown below.
Math, Grades 1 -12
Monday - Thursday Mornings, $75 per month
We take a literature-based approach to teaching language arts. Great stories capture the imagination of students, and then vocabulary and writing skills can be developed naturally out of the narrative. To teach phonics, spelling and grammar at the primary levels, we use resources such as Explode the Code and Fix It! Grammar. At the high school level, we offer full World, British and American literature courses.
ELA, Grades 1 -12
Monday - Thursday Mornings, $75 per month
Science at the higher levels can be intimidating, and the lab work impossibly technical. If you need an experienced teacher to make sure your student is getting the most out of the subject matter and enjoying the hands-on approach science deserves, we can help. We use the Apologia science texts shown below.
Science, Grades 8-12
Geography, Grades 9-12
Monday - Thursday Mornings, $75 per month
Geography is foundational for understanding history and current events. We emphasize both a memorization of key geographic features through cartography and an exposure to cultures so that a more comprehensive grasp of world events can be achieved.
World History, Grades 9-12
Monday - Thursday Mornings, $75 per month
We bring history to life with storytelling, artifacts and compelling discussion about the motives and circumstances that drive human behavior. Our goal is to always make connections to present day, so that we can understand and positively influence our culture. We also incorporate writing into our curriculum to challenge our students to organize their thoughts and express their opinions from an informed perspective.
One-on-One and One-on-Two Support
All Subjects, Flexible scheduling in the afternoons between 1:00 and 4:00, Monday through Thursday, $15 per hour.
For students who need more intensive help, we can provide a setting which allows for greater focus and fosters a boost in confidence. Our goal is always to prepare students to thrive in larger-group setting.
