Beginning in 9th grade, there are additional forms that you will need to use, and these will be turned in quarterly and at the end of each semester. Organization and record keeping become even more important to homeschool parents during their student's high school years because you are building an official transcript that will be used to document fulfillment of TKA and state graduation requirements, and determine scholarship awards and college acceptance.
A late fee is charged on tardy paperwork so please pay close attention to the dates on which these forms are due.
Registration must be complete by August 1st.
Your classes for the year should follow The King's Academy course plan in order to finish all required credits to graduate, although there is some flexibility in order.
ALL required forms are accessible using the link to the cloud drive which you received via email. Please do not hesitate to contact the Homeschool Coordinator with any questions.
ALL Students entering the 9th Grade require a meeting. During the meeting we will discuss your 4-year plan, the courses and curricula you have chosen, and our record-keeping and documentation processes. Please be ready for your meeting with all the items listed below.
Curriculum Worksheet: This form must be printed off twice and completed for the registration meeting to indicate the courses and curriculum you have chosen for each semester.

A $20 late fee will be charged for each week that you are late turning in this form. After four weeks late your student will not receive credit for the classes taken during that semester.
