What stands out
- Describes itself as a 'non profit educational ministry' with a published Statement of Faith, supporting 'evangelical families.' (source)
- Offers a record-keeping-only membership tier ($300/year) with no enrichment-day attendance requirement, distinct from most local PSPs found so far. (source)
- Requires Live Scan fingerprinting (~$75, cost varies by location) for parents participating in the Academy Day program. (source)
Questions to ask
- How long is the current waitlist for the Academy Day program, and does record-keeping-only enrollment skip it?
- Is HSLDA membership actually required to enroll, or just recommended?
- What curriculum, if any, is included in the fee versus purchased separately?
