Tarreymere Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Well, sort of officially we are Hemlock Park Day School, because we live on Hemlock Drive in a mobile home park, and I am DONE at the end of the day. But we like to joke around with silly names, like the one in my siggy from WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kertie Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I made the mistake of letting the kids pick. Ours is The Ding Doodle Academy for Smarty Pants. I think we may need to revisit this sometime in the future.:glare: :lol: We don't have one yet, but I've tossed out the idea of coming up with one, and my oldest insists it should be Ace Obedience School. :confused: When I gently explained that it sounded like a school for dogs, he STILL thought we should go with it! :001_huh: Needless to say, I'm glad I always maintain veto power around here! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbridgeacademy Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Foxbridge Academy, My maiden name is Fox and I figured I deserved a little recognition.

cloversandlions Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Wings Academy At the beginning of last school year, all three of my children were enrolled in a public charter school for homeschooling families. Unlike our previous charter school, where we only had to show one sample from each of four subject areas, the teacher from this school required that I bring ALL schoolwork (which needed to be enough to show work on most subject areas every day) to each meeting, which she only spaced out about every three weeks. At that time, my dyslexic dd was really struggling with most written work, especially while also doing vision therapy. (There was an emotional component to this - because of the dyslexia and the vision problems, she was convinced that she was not smart or capable, which is absolutely false; I strongly believe she shows many signs of giftedness, although she has not been, and will not be, tested to confirm.) On the morning after the Tooth Fairy visited, she was crushed because she had left a note for the Tooth Fairy to please bring her wings instead of money. The TF, of course, was ill-prepared for such a request, and therefore, was not able to fulfill it. I asked dd why she wanted wings, and she said it was to get away from everything and all the stress (of school, mostly). So, although giving her real wings was not an option, I withdrew her from that charter and filed a PSA, naming our school, Wings Academy. She made a lot of progress without the pressure to perform, and was a much happier and certainly less stressed-out little girl. I don't plan to enroll her in a public school again. About three months later, I withdrew my other two children from that charter when dh said he was pretty certain that he was going to accept an offer from a company in another state. When he changed his mind a few days later, well...I wasn't going back. All three will be in Wings Academy from the beginning this year. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 DD has decided we're "Mount Parnassus Elementary"-Home of the fighting Hydras She was very frustrated at her cousin's comments on school names and cute mascots, so I suggested she come up with one (Legally, we're "Home Life Academy" because we're under a cover school).

We don't have to name our school, but I love those that chose names that recognize the purpose of their homeschool. This may be a first week of school discussion we have. Thanks for the ideas!!

eewaggie99 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 [street name] Academy. Our street is very generic and sounds a bit like a private school. I decided on the name for college reasons.

mommylawyer Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Gratia Plena Academia. It means Full of Grace Academy. When choosing the name, I wanted to call it the English version, but several people told me they thought of Full of [enter inappropriate word here] Academy.

Not the most inventive, but we're rejoicing to FINALLY be in a home without turnsignals or wheels and to FINALLY be homeowners!!! At this point, we're too giddy to be creative!:D:D:D:D:D:D :party: we are High Plains Elementary School We'll have to come up with a middle school name when the time comes...and then we'll have children at two different schools...sigh..how will I manage.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
