JumpyTheFrog Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I need to choose a name for my homeschool. "Lastname Academy" won't work and neither will any street names from my neighborhood. Any other ideas? I don't want to regret what I choose when it's time to make high school transcripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBanjoClown Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well, my boys are still very young, and so I know we will change our name before they are high school age, but for now we are Padawan Prep...lol. Are there any nature-related names you could use that have to do with something in your area? Tall Pines Rolling Hills ______ Creek School (Number of kids) Oaks Academy Oceanside Academy Or, if you are religious, a name that conveys that.

milovany Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 We chose something from our faith tradition and it sounds fancy 'nough. Holy Ascension Preparatory Academy. I also like "Learning Center" because that's really what our home is, but for its purpose (transcript, like you said), it doesn't sound "let me in your college" worthy.

JumpyTheFrog Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 I don't suppose "Fire Ant Central Academy" would be a good name? Maybe I better think of some, um, more appreciated parts of nature around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well, if you like the fire ant thing, but want to have fun with it, you use the latin name for the local type of fire ants, and add Academy. Solenopsis invicta Academy, for instance. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Like milovany, I went with something religious, but for us it's very hidden and depending on the group, I can go lots of ways with it. I wanted something that point to Christ but everything I came up with, dh didn't like. Then the song lyrics came through my head "and in the dark and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil". That anchor is Christ. We are Anchor Academy. If in a secular group that just would not understand, I can go with anchor paying homage to my home town - our rednecks were watermen.

Parrothead Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well, give us something to work with. What part of the country are you in? What is your dog's name? Any hobbies? Favorite classic author? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
