Veritas Scholars Academy or ???
AStableBeginning replied to Sunny Day's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
DD is finishing 8th grade. We are not in the Diploma program, she just does not have the time (competitive athlete, and I like our history/math cycles more than what they offer at Veritas. She's my youngest daughter so I know what works for NCAA clearinghouse / Service Academies etc because we have been through it already). I would say she works between 30-45 minutes on G&W Transition, longer if there is a paper due. For physical science, she usually spends 45-1hr each day, again longer if she has a lab due. Formal lab write ups take longer because there is research involved, but plenty of time is given to prepare. Our favorite General and Physical science teacher will be out on maternity leave next year, but we haven't had a bad teacher across the board yet. Not sure what science you are looking at doing but Mrs. Braaten and Mr. Bruner are popular. My recommendation would be to click on the teacher's name and read their bio. Then watch the short intro video they have made to hear them speak. -

This is our 9th year outsourcing with Veritas for our family and we have been pleased with all the courses and curriculum. My youngest daughter is currently finishing Grammar & Writing Transition and Physical Science live courses with VP. The classes are rigorous and challenging but so worth it. She has grown tremendously academically in her ability to write papers and formal lab reports. She is enrolled for 4 live classes next school year, Comp I, Biology, Latin II, and Omni I Primary. -

@historymatters did you complete this course? Did you use the 9th edition or did you upgrade? Thanks! -
Do you have any plans for vacations in 2021?
AStableBeginning replied to mommyoffive's topic in The Chat Board
We will be traveling for the last upcoming gymnastics meets in PA and hopefully FL for DD3. We also will need to travel to move DD2 out of University in May and take DD3 to University in June for a summer program. It will be me traveling for these trips with the girls and we will be flying to all except PA. DD2 will also fly to AF Field Training this summer as well. Just waiting to hear when. Then in August as a family we have to get both daughters back to University. At this time we are hoping to be able to visit the Ark Encounter, but we will see how things are going overall. -
Gymnastics Moms: Did your gym ever...
AStableBeginning replied to JumpyTheFrog's topic in The Chat Board
Gymnastics is hard and each child develops and gains new skill on their own timeline. So sorry your son is going through this! Can you find another gym? -

Personal SARS-COV-2 vaccination experiences
AStableBeginning replied to JennyD's topic in The Chat Board
I am 6.5 hours post first Pfizer shot. My arm is noticeably sore but nothing too bad. I am the first in my immediate family to get the vaccine, hoping my DH will be next now that the J&J is approved. -
NCAA Requirements
AStableBeginning replied to Reefgazer's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I second the FB group! We registered our daughter in Freshman year because she qualified for the highest level of competition, JO Nationals, and the coaching pool wanted a number. I just submitted her CCW’s Monday morning and she was certified “Early Academic Qualifier” with 15/16 courses approved by Thursday morning! She was also offered a spot on the gymnastics team at a school she loves on Thursday afternoon! Excited and relieved to be done with the whole process! -

DD #2 is taking two AP's this year in Lang/Comp and U.S. Gov't. Her softball team is traveling to a tournament in TN next week. Thankfully, a local private school has agreed to let her test with them so that she can go with the team. I think I am more stressed than her about it.

Berean - Jay Wile online course
AStableBeginning replied to southcactusrose's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Definitely the two lines I put in bold print. My daughter missed class on day because we were traveling and I forgot to tell him. We got a personal email wondering where she was and detailing how she could listen to the lecture. Gifted teacher and I wish he was teaching the Advanced classes too so my daughter could continue with him. -
Berean - Jay Wile online course
AStableBeginning replied to southcactusrose's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
My 11th grader DD is completing the Physics class and we both are enjoying it. She needed to be accountable to someone else and the class provides the right amount of push for her. She enjoys physics and wants to be an Astrophysicist. The physics class is ran just as the chemistry Denise in IN described above. -
I was skeptical at first but glad we did go with one. Since last November my washer broke (twice) and was replaced, dryer broke and was fixed, dishwasher broke and was fixed. I am happy with our service and the professionals that come out for service.

AP exams at different schools
AStableBeginning replied to daijobu's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Interesting...can you tell me more? My daughter is taking two exams this year, U.S. Government and English Language, at two different schools in different states. For the Government test she is testing in TN because her softball team is playing in a tournament there during testing week. The English test will be taken when she returns home. Any information would be helpful to know as this is her first time testing. Thanks!
