The current week

Monday through Friday at ROC Academy

ROC Academy is a homeschool hybrid. Families homeschool, and ROC carries two instructional days plus a Friday that is open to the wider homeschool community.

  1. Monday

    Home day

    At home

    Parents homeschool their own students. ROC sends the lesson plans and supports the work.

  2. Tuesday

    Instruction day

    9:00am – 2:30pm

    Students learn the core subjects together in class at ROC Academy.

  3. Wednesday

    Instruction day

    9:00am – 2:30pm

    The second instructional day at ROC Academy, same hours as Tuesday.

  4. Thursday

    Home day

    At home

    Parents teach at home again, continuing the week's assigned learning.

  5. Friday

    Thrive Day

    9:00am – noon

    Open to any homeschool family, not only enrolled families. Drop-in is $10 per class for families who are not in the full program.

Three parts, one connected week

How the week fits together

Two days of instruction at ROC, two home days that parents lead with ROC's support, and one Friday that is open to the whole homeschool community.

Learn together

Students learn together at ROC on two instructional days — Tuesday and Wednesday, 9:00am to 2:30pm.

Home guidance

Monday and Thursday are home days. Parents homeschool their own students, and ROC supports them with lesson plans and guidance.

Growing community

Friday is Thrive Day, 9:00am to noon, and it is open to any homeschool family — not only enrolled families.

Monday and Thursday are home days

Parents teach. ROC supports them.

Monday and Thursday are home days. You are the homeschool teacher on those days, and ROC gives you the plans and support to carry them well.

  1. Plans travel home

    ROC teachers send lesson plans home so parents know exactly what to cover on Monday and Thursday.

  2. Parents teach the home days

    On Monday and Thursday you homeschool your own students. ROC supports that work; it does not replace it.

  3. Work comes back each week

    Weekly work returns to class, so the two instruction days and the two home days stay connected.

What families can explore

What a week can include

These are examples of what a week can include. Extras change from term to term, so ask ROC Academy what is running right now.

Core subjects

Math, language arts, science, and history are taught together on the two instruction days.

Movement

Physical education and active games are part of the week. What is offered can change term to term.

Learning beyond the classroom

Field trips are part of the year. Ask ROC Academy which trips are planned right now.

Friday, open to everyone

Thrive Day welcomes any homeschool family. Drop-in classes are $10 each for families not in the full program.

Family partnership

ROC does not replace you. ROC partners with you.

You are the homeschool parent, and that does not change. ROC carries the two instructional days, provides lesson plans and record-keeping guidance, and stands beside you on Monday and Thursday when you teach. The week only works because families and ROC carry it together.
