You are welcome to use any system that works best for you; however, we provide a chart to help you keep organized if needed. You will submit grades and attendance for elementary and middle school students at the end of the school year (May). You will submit grades and attendance for high school students twice per school year (once in December and again in May). These forms will be assigned in your myRECA account.

There are many opportunities for co-ops, park dates, and field trips in Knoxville. There are also several social media groups where homeschoolers connect and post activities.

We are working on some more resources for our Umbrella families, so please keep checking the Resource Board in your myRECA account for links and information!

​No, our membership with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) no longer requires testing for homeschool students but it is highly recommended for students in grades 2-10. RECA does offer standardized testing or you can purchase an online test or go through another institution then submit your child's results to us.

No, testing is not included in the umbrella fee. You can see what is included in your umbrella fees in our overview chart.

There are so many options these days! Here is a helpful quiz for choosing the right curriculum for your child. What works for one child might not work for the other, so don't be afraid to mix, match, and experiment with different approaches to find the best fit for your family.

Our Home Education Program families have access to additional resources specifically curated for homeschooling families in their myRECA accounts under the resource board. We are updating and adding more resources throughout the school year so we suggest visiting the board often for new links and ideas!
