High
School Program (Grades 9 through 12)
Our high school students are provided with the
most comprehensive text books available. A high school diploma is issued
to those students who satisfactorily complete the requirements. Students that
have a computer are provided with access to a website where they can take master end-of-chapter tests for most core subjects and electives.
These tests are graded instantly and the results include a list of the
incorrect answers and the percentage correct on each submitted chapter test
as well as a progress report that details the scores for each
test taken to date in the given subject.
Students may improve their test scores by correcting any missed
questions, but may only resubmit a test one time after the initial
grading. Those students that do not possess a computer connected to the Internet may
take the hard copy version of the standardized tests and simply
send their answers to us for manual grading.
Middle
School Program (Grades 7 & 8)
This program consists of six outstanding text books in the following
subject areas:
(1) grammar and composition
(2) literature
(3) history
(4) science
(5) health and
(6) mathematics.
The middle school program is combined into a single
combination 7th/8th grade since 8th grade is practically a complete review
of material previously presented in 6th and 7th grades. Tests for
each subject are graded by Pearblossom Private School, Inc. and are
available in standard hard copy format or computer format for INSTANT
Grading. A consumable Grammar Workbook is also included in the program
and serves as a mini course in grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Earth, Life, or Physical Science can be specified to adapt the
program to the student's interests. 7th/8th Mathematics, General
mathematics (at 9th grade level) or Pre-algebra are available options depending
on the student's math skills.
Elementary
Program (Grades K through 6)
Each student is provided with the following consumable work books:
(1) spelling book
(2) mathematics book
(3) phonics
(4) writing
(5) language arts
(6) reading
(7) Super Workbook.
Please note, however, that both the subjects of the individual elementary books and the
quantity of consumable workbooks provided in addition to the Super Workbook are subject to change and availability.
Depending on the grade level, the 600 to 800 page Super Workbook
contains a well planned course of study organized to teach the basic
academic curriculum. The Kindergarten program is appropriate for
preschool children aged 3 1/2 years and older and includes a book
that teaches your child to read in "100 easy lessons." No flash cards,
lesson plans, additional books, or machines are necessary. The parent
that completes this program will know more about teaching reading
than most public school teachers because the parent will have carefully
observed and participated in the step by step development of their
child's reading skills. Our elementary school students are
issued grades based on their performance on lessons in a Super Workbook.
those parents that have an IBM-compatible computer are provided
easy to use software that maintains student grades and computes
overall averages in all subjects.
The
Hot-Line Advantage
The hot-line is intended to assist with occasional questions; students with chronic questions
or problems may require local tutoring, the cost of which is not included in the tuition. One-on-one
tutoring is available from various providers for a low monthly fee.
