Valdez
FOCUS Valdez is all about relationships. Our close-knit community of learners and their families make our program unique. Frequent get-togethers encourage families to connect and build community. Valdez FOCUS Homeschool provides “extended family” support to Pre-K through 12th grade families who choose to educate their own children. Whether you school at home, on the road, or online, our friendly staff gives you the freedom and flexibility you want.
Every month there are several activities in which students can participate. We have fun monthly learning-focused events, drop-in crafts, Lego Jr. Team, Lego Robotics Team, and so much more! Activities that families love include Maker Fairs, Stan Stevens Cruises, and get-together potlucks. FOCUS welcomes family input and is always eager to help our learners explore their interests and develop their passions.
Students at FOCUS also have access to a variety of other opportunities! Voyage School, our district’s residential school in Anchorage, holds weeks-long phases to teach new skills in areas like First Responder, Aviation, Culinary Skills, among many others. These opportunities are free to our students. We also have access to the online classes through the Copper River School District. FOCUS is part of the Advantage Program at UAF, where students can take college classes for a reduced price to get a jump-start on higher education.
Our families have the freedom to choose what they want their children to learn, how they teach and what curriculum or materials they want to use. We can help you choose from a wide variety of options, ranging from hands-on, project-based, traditional texts, thematic units or online learning. Whether in a schoolroom, a spot at the kitchen table, the local library, or meeting up at a coffee shop with friends to share experiences, FOCUS families find ways to learn that best suits them.
FOCUS staff is supportive and understanding, helping to alleviate some of the stress of homeschooling. We are here to be an ear and a helping hand as you navigate your homeschooling journey.
