Personalized Support

Our “focus” has never been on how big we are or how many students we serve.  We don’t see our students as numbers.  Each individual student is important to us.  We provide our families with prompt and personalized attention, flexibility in meeting individual needs, and allow them to pursue specific enrichment opportunities to help students succeed.

We have the lowest teacher-to-family ratio in the state.

Role of the Advisory Teacher

• Assist parents in the important role as the primary teacher of their child.
• Assure that parents and students are aware of their responsibilities within FOCUS Homeschool.
• Help in assessing students’ abilities and learning styles in a supportive and effective learning environment that enables all students to meet academic achievement standards.
• Provide high-quality curriculum and appropriate learning and assessment materials, as well as unique and powerful learning experiences and opportunities.
• Offer parent training.
• Model lessons and strategies for parents.
• Maintain regular contact with students and parents.
• Evaluate assessments and work samples and provide feedback to parents and students, at a minimum of twice per school year.  Parents may request to meet with their Advisory Teacher at any time throughout the school year to discuss their student’s academic progress.
• Support the parents’ endeavors to individualize their child’s learning experience.
