We had a close look and discussed the possibility with our children, but ultimately decided to continue home schooling.

Our family has some close connections with Christian Life Academy, and since they have an average ACT score of 28 and a pretty good environment, we also had a strong look and some careful conversations. Ultimately, we felt we could do better continuing to home school for academic reasons more related to how government regulations and accreditation requirements are holding them back combined with our students' desire for real accredited college classes and the scheduling and transportation difficulties arranging that when attending any brick and mortar school compared with flexibility of home school scheduling.

In the end, home schooling has been a family decision after weighing the available options.
