Two things I noted as I was looking over their curriculum. They are offering Mandarin Chinese/Spanish for all grades, and they are using Singapore Math (check).
Would your student benefit from the “gap year”?
Interesting topic…Lots of good articles to read on the subject.

Feles class (grades 2-3) recited the Declaration of Independence
Ursa class (grades 4-6) recited Patrick Henry’s speech
Psalm 8 was recited
Geography songs covering Central America and the former Soviet Union were sung
Food and drinks followed
The kids did an amazing job this year!
Making geography fun and tangible
Just got these geography puzzles in today from Rainbow Resource. Hopefully, the kids will enjoy them. Maybe I went a little overboard?
Hubby arrived home after a week long trip overseas
It was a long week for me without him being home. Lots to juggle with no breaks, but we survived. The laundry is not finished. My wood floors are dirty. There is sports equipment strewn everywhere. The mail is in a huge stack. So glad I have a spouse who gets what I go through!
