Now Enrolling for the 2009-2010 School Year!
We are now offering 8 week summer classes in the following subjects : Math, English, Spanish, and SAT Prep. These intensive 8 week classes are a great way to reinforce material that was not mastered during the previous school year as well as a way to prepare students for classes they will be taking next year. For a complete schedule of class times and prices for our summer program, please click here.
All classes are now accredited by the Florida Coalition of Christian Private Schools! This means that transcripts and diplomas will be available to all SLC students (for a small additional cost). Finally, SLC offers private school services at SLC prices and academic standards!
The Sunshine Learning Center was developed 9 years ago in order to provide effective teaching at a low cost to the homeschool community. Classes are taught by full time teachers dedicated and trained to work with South Florida homeschoolers. Parents are not responsible for teaching the material to the child. The center provides all the teaching and testing, we only ask that you bring your child to us if he or she needs extra help. Then students are tutored both one-on-one and in groups in areas with which they need assistance. Our motto is don't stop teaching until it is learned.
In the 9 years of teaching these classes to the homeschool community, we have found that a one and a half hour weekly class may not by enough for many students. Included with tuition are up to 10 weekly hours of workshop time and any extra private tutoring that is necessary for the student to gain mastery of the material. This includes all subjects: Math, Science, English, Spanish, Latin, etc...
Included with tuition is ...
Unlimited Use of the Workshops--Workshops in the 2009-2010 school year will be from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm Monday through Friday. Workshops operate like a study hall. Students are encouraged to use these workshops as much as they want to in order to do their homework and study for tests. There are always teachers and tutors ready to answer questions in the workshops as well as supplementary material to make learning easier. Check the workshop page for more information on these resources.
Free One-On-One Private Tutoring and Phone Access to a Teacher - Between the classes and workshops, most of the students are able to do well on their tests. In some cases, a student may need extra help especially with math, science, reading, and writing. If this happens, there is still yet another option for help. Teachers and/or tutors will work with your student one-on-one at no extra charge until your student feels comfortable with the material. Additionally, a teacher is never more than a phone call away when students are trying to finish homework or study for a test. Students can also email in questions to their teachers. With these mechanisms in place, it is very hard for students to fall behind.
Guidance with College Admissions - There are as many schools to select from as there are careers. Sorting out the different admissions requirements and financial aid applications can be maddening. There are other decisions to consider like dual enrollment. We have enough experience with this process to provide good suggestions to make it easier for families in this confusing time.
