Online Application Form for the year 2010-2011
Before we begin..
How the application process works
All applications are done online, unless you do not have access to the internet, in which case, please call us and we will take your application over the phone. Call (704) 262-9754.
Each page has a button on it that you need to click on in order to proceed. When you click the "Yes, I agree to the following rules" button below, you will be asked to type in your name and address. When you click the "Next" button on that page, it will then ask you for your first student's name. You click on "Next" and it will ask you which location and class. It will ask you if you have anymore students, and when you're done with that, it will show you your application form and the financial statement. The application form does not ask you for your financial details. There is a final screen asking you for any comments, and the last screen congratulates you and allows you to print out the application form for your own records. You should expect us to contact you within a week to discuss your payment. So just follow the trail of green buttons. Happy clicking!
Do you agree to the following rules and policies?
(By clicking this button you are indicating that you have read, understood and agree with the rules stated below.)Rules
In order to help protect a positive learning environment for your student, we have listed the following points that we would like you to take note of.
Home School Law
You, as a home school teacher, are the primary teacher of your child, and nJoy Science is a service that you are using to enhance the education of your students. nJoy Science is not a school. Your home school is the school. (See Department of Education definition of "home school" for further details)
Middle and High School Study and Preparation
The Apologia courses are designed with both lab work and personal study requirements. Please make sure that your student is completing the reading and exercises in the text book. Your home school will award the final grade for the course. See the grading section for more details on how this works.
Student Behavior
We expect your home school students to behave well, specifically:
- Come ready to learn, with a teachable spirit, and participate when expected to do so.
- Be respectful of the teacher and listen to the teacher at all times.
- Be respectful of other students.
- Be respectful of the facilities being used.
- Be respectful of equipment being used and of other people's property.
- Be punctual and remain in class until the lesson ends unless otherwise excused
- No eating food in class.
- No electronic devices to be used in lessons other than a calculator. Specifically:
- Cell phones must be turned off
- No texting during the lesson
- No electronic games
- No cameras or recording devices of any kind
- No listening to iPods in the lesson
- No laptops/notebooks. (Unecessary in a lab class, and a distraction to others.)
- No iPhones
- No electronic gadgetry apart from a calculator. You merely need to bring your book, notepad and something to write with.
Behavioral Syndromes
nJoy Science does not admit students with behavioral syndomes such as Aspergers syndrome, or Autism.Medical Conditions
If your student has a special medical condition (such as asthma or diabetes), please make sure that they have the necessary medical supplies with them. nJoy Science does not have a comprehensive first aid kit and we are not trained to deal with medical emergencies ourselves.Dress Code
Students should dress modestly and neatly for class. "Not too tight, not too short, not too low, not sloppy"
Communication and email
Please monitor your email from us, and make sure that our email is
not being removed by your junk email filters. We communicate with
parents from time to time by email as a primary method of
communication. We monitor our email daily. If you need an email provider that does a good job of
getting rid of unwanted emails for you, we recommend Gmail. Elementary age class volunteers
Depending on class size, you may be asked to volunteer, in rotation with other parents, to assist in the class that your child is taking.
Student disciplinary issues
nJoy Science is not a school, and does not have the power to conduct detention and other forms of discipline. Therefore we are expecting you to enforce the discipline at home, especially since this is home schooling. To do that we will give you feedback via email of any issues that may arise in your absence. We do have a teacher and an assistant in the classes, and so reported issues are usually wintessed by two nJoy Science representatives and we usually cross check ourselves to make sure that we are accurately reporting the issue to you. We find that most home schoolers appreciate these rules and are grateful for any feedback concerning disciplinary issues. These rules are here to ensure that the majority of well behaved students have a protected and orderly learning environment. It is the testimony of most students that they enjoy our classes.
