Frequently Asked Questions
Does TLC charge tuition?
No! TLC is FREE; however, we ask for a suggested donation of $100/student/year if possible to help us cover the cost of supplies and to gift our incredible tutors at the end of the year. TLC tutors work on a volunteer basis and out of love.
Does TLC offer field trips?
Yes! We usually organize about 5-7 field trips each semester. We attempt to offer either free or discounted trips to keep them affordable.
Do I need a degree in education in order to homechool?
No! Anyone can homeschool. TLC is designed to give support, encouragement, and resources to parents as they raise independent self-learners.
TLC uses a curriculum with a Christian worldview. May I enroll if I do not share the same beliefs?
Yes! Though our curriculum does have a Christian worldview and we do pray before class, we invite and welcome anyone from any faith (or none)! We have been blessed to enroll families with a diversity of religious backgrounds.
Will I be expected to teach a class at TLC?
No! We do not expect anyone to take on more than they can handle. You may be asked periodically to assist if there is a need, but we do not want anyone to feel pressured.
TLC's curriculum uses a classical approach to education. Will my public school student be able to adjust?
Yes! A majority of our students and parents come from the public school system. There will obviously be a learning curve and adjustment period, but our tutors are understanding, supportive, and generous with their time as they provide additional assistance and varied workloads when needed.
