Living Learning Loving Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 COVEY ACADEMY (after the author Stephen Covey of 7 Habits of Happy Kids and 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) I was thinking it would be nice to have a name MORE FUN, especially since we don't have to write that name on anything official, but this one does have a lot of meaning.

Guest Dulcimeramy Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Burr Oak Story School Our backyard has a huge burr oak tree. It dominates the whole property, visually, and provides lovely shade for reading or playing outdoors! We primarily use Sonlight for grades K-4, so I thought "story school" was appropriate.

Greta Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Bear Canyon Classical Academy The name is based on a geographical feature very near our home. I've always thought we could have a neat southwestern (we live in NM) style bear logo on our official letterhead . . . but I've never actually bothered to make an official letterhead. :D Just haven't found the need for it. Honestly, we have no need for a name, either, but I like having it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 4 Cedars Classical Homeschool. I wanted it to start with a number in the event that I ever put it in the phone book. lol The Cedars have to do with the Cedars on Lebanon mentioned in the scriptures and 4 because we have 4 family members and that shouldn't be changing any time soon.

Geo Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Because our state requires we register our homeschool as a non-public school, a name is mandatory...and it cannot be changed. So, we picked a non-cutesy title that would serve graduating seniors: L'Abri School. Unlike a lady I knew, who thought she would only homeschool through elementary. In the long run, she ended up hsing through high school...those poor kids have diplomas from "Fry Elementary". Tragic. Geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauracolumbus Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 We picked ours the first week of homeschooling, and I thought it would be temporary, but the kids really like it. I also thought it would be overused, but haven't seen anyone else using it yet. For my birthday this year (on Monday) dh hired a design team to design our logo. It's all I can do not to ask him how much it cost. I see everything in terms of curricula dollars and think of all the books I could buy. I'm not good at receiving pricey presents. But, it has been fun to be part of the design process. We're still in the middle of it. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patchfire Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 We don't have to have a name, but I use "Pannus Ardor Institute" for fun. I have a name in the back of my head that sounds more formal that we may use for high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 We are named - The Magicschool House. Our guiding idea right now is The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Albert Einstein I have a more formal ReallyAwesomeMaidenName Classical Academy as our name for highschool transcripts because there is that big field on all those applications that ask for school name.

birchbark Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I thought and thought unsuccessfully for a school name ever since my son started school. I wanted something imaginative, yet wouldn't sound dumb for a high school. One of the other posters here shared their school name and I fell in love with it: Chartwell. It makes me think of ships and stars and describes exactly what we're wanting to do in our school: chart a course of excellence for our children's futures. So I "stole" it and we are now Chartwell Classical School. Even though we are a mix of Classical, CM, and (newly) Waldorf, I think "Classical" in the name sounds nice. :D Thanks to whoever came up with this great name!

skueppers Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Streetname Academy. I came up with it when I needed a name for a form.

Krissi Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Grand Oaks Christian Academy. I wanted it to sound like a real school. Just wanted to encourage a little here: You are a real school!!! We, homeschoolers, are not imaginary or non-existant. Our education takes place primarily, or at least based out of our home. But, it's real education. Probably more "real" than an institution can provide. Just sayin'. I mean this in the kindest way :):grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommydearest Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Sometimes we just use our "last name" Family Homeschool, but lately I've been calling us "Future Hope Academy".
