elegantlion Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Based upon the daily activities of your school what should it REALLY be called? :D I love the creative names many of you have, based upon the passions of your educational goals. We are technically Wakefield Academy and to me that conjures up images of a smart, orderly, exclusive educational facility. I was answering another thread and I realized my son comes to school without a shirt and shoes for most of the time. He doesn't like to sit still, we live in a veritable nature study lab, and we are always getting distracted by something. So really we should be... The Tarzan School for Adventuresome Boys. Maybe I should change the name. :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Another Jen Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 We are the Celtic Learning Project on good days- on others we should be Miss Jenny's Home for Wayward Children and I think that would be a "nice" name for it. We've got two crazy guitar playing teens, 2 in the middle who will wander away at a moments notice and a preschooler who wants to catch toads all day long.

Big Buckin' Longhorn Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I usually refer to our homeschool as The Controlled Chaos Learning Center. One of my son's nickname is Chaos. He's a human tornado. Even at 16, sitting still is something he doesn't do very well. Also shirt and shoes are completely optional. Who needs them.

kpupg Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Funny thread :D Our official names are: St. Albert the Great Academy (for ds14) and Four Trees Academy (for dd12). In real life, we might be called the Grooming Optional School of Dissatisfaction or the Inmate In Charge Asylum. I think they want to drive me over the edge some days.

Twinmom Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Our name on paper is Grace Classical Academy. Our name today should be either "Food Fights R Us Academy" or "When will these boys EVER learn to lift the lid before they pee Academy!" Or, better yet, as their soccer coach calls them "BAM Academy!" (That's twins Ben and Sam combined, as all they ever do in soccer is run into each other!) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Bay Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Let's see. I think it depends on the day, and sometimes the child. But the Grooming Optional one would definitely fit ;) As in optional from my dc's POV, not mine. Some days it's Horrormones Academy, others it could be Grumps R Us or Complainers Anonymous (can you tell what kind of a day we've been having?). It could also be Punsters Pre-College Academy (no obvious pun ignored), Annoy All Alive Academy, L'Ecole du Lollygaggers (I apologize to all Francophones, but I wanted the allliteration), Krazy Kindergarten, Bookworms Boardingschool, etc, etc. Perhaps Draconian Math Academy, since we do a lot of math. Mostly, if I were to have a name, I pick Lastname Academy because finding titles is always a challenge for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 The Sprawling Girls Academy . That's cute! If nothing changes around here over the next three years, we'll be the Couchtop College. Dd loves to lie on top of the sofa, or even better, on the mantlepiece. I'll have to put a stop to that when she gets heavier, but she's only 2 now :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy in TN Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Our homeschool is named And There Was Much Rejoice Academy. "And there was much rejoice" is actually said sarcastically without enthusiasm and is a quote from Monty Python, but I have only had a couple of people pick up on that. This is actually a pretty accurate name for schooling my older two. My middle ds used to respond with this quote with fair frequency and that is why it was chosen. Although, my oldest ds could have Frequently Frustrated with the Community College Professors Academy on his transcript this year. Little ds could have Numbers Fly Like Pigeons Academy (courtesy of Carl Sandburg) any day of the week and occasionally Mathematics of Perpetual Motion and Non-stop Talking Academy. This is fun- Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Katia Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 My older dd had music lessons three times a week, (1 hr drive each way), and for two years she did pre-professional ballet as well (1 hr drive each way)....so she did most of her schooling in the van to and from lessons. She said her school should have been named: Van School My younger dd has five cc classes this semester, as well as a volunteer job at the public library 6 hours a week, along with music lessons and drama at the cc.....so she is rarely at home. Her school should be called: Neverathome Academy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our motto is: "Can we do a shortened day of school today?" Our uniforms would be the same outfit for 3 days in a row (including underwear). This was fun!
