PamJBA Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 There was a thread about this not that long ago. Great names and mascots and school colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Some states require it, mine doesn't. But I named it after our street. See signature below :thumbup1: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneezyone Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Yep. I used to work in PR so branding is everything to me. LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamJBA Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 My daughter started calling it Pam Academy, but I don't know if that was her idea or came from her dad or his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Ours is "Mount Parnassus Academy" with the hydra as our mascot. DD wanted a "real school" when she was 6, which turned out to mean she wanted a cute mascot, a t-shirt, and a sticker for mom's minivan. It's not official since we register with a cover school in our state and they issue the transcript/diploma, but it appears on DD's badge at conferences and we order school stuff under that name. So far, the only comment was from someone at the American Classical League who sent DD's results for the NME with a post-it reading "LOVE the school name!"

gfengel Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 We didn't, but that's a fun idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 After several name changes, I named ours after a street/geographical feature near us. Now that it's on my son's diploma, I can't change it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobeatenpath Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Well, the blog came before homeschooling, but on the rare occassion where webforms or the like need a school name, I just say No Beaten Path. It's appropriate :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 For my son's diploma, we used our "street name home school." Not terribly creative, but I didn't want it to be something goofy for a diploma/transcripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleowl Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I am thinking of calling ours The Machen Athenaeum. Machen is after J. Gresham Machen, a theologian, and Athenaeum because it's a fun word. The name looks good in Old English font, too, which is obviously very important. ;) But this is like the third or fourth name I've considered, so who knows if I'll stick with it? DH doesn't care at all what I call it, and DD would name it something like The Princess Flamingo Pikmin Home School of Fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retiredHSmom Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 My oldest daughter christened our school South Darcastle Academy for Young Gentry. It used to have a school page on Facebook but as my 2 daughters were its only students and they both deleted their accounts I think it is gone. Their diplomas read SD Academy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammish Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I mentioned this thread to DS8, and he suggested "Building School." I said, "Well, we do more than just build..." (Although there is quite a bit of that going on - mostly of the Lego and Zoob variety). His reply was, "We're building brains!" :laugh: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagine.more Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 St. Hedwig's School for Exceptional Children (Harry Potter reference, saint name, and all three of my kiddos has been classified as twice-exceptional) Okay, I couldn't possibly love this more :) As for us, we recently moved to a state that asks for a name so we picked one. Imago Dei Classical School. I figure it's descriptive enough, not cutesy (I wouldn't be embarrassed to put it on a diploma) and suits us. But for this year my kids *think* they're attending Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, they already received their letters and Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and I'm in the midst of planning our start-of-term feast for September :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury449 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 I asked my husband what we should call it, (I suggested "The Round Up School" since we're into Toy Story right now) and he said we should call it something different every year based on a theme. It's a fun idea but then I can't use it on documents continuously. My Round Up School idea doesn't work either because it would soon be outgrown. Guess I need to think of something more sophisticated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueTx Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 We named our school Five Stars Academy (5 kids). But when she graduated, dd wanted to use our last name - Academy. She was proud she was homeschooled and wanted it to be obvious on her diploma. Love that girl :) Sue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
