IMPACT Education

Online Instruction began March 31 and is going well.  Everyone needs to go to www.zoom.us and download the free version of Zoom.  We will meet our classes at the regular times.

Check out our    2019-2020 Class Schedule

We’re glad to help everyone finish out the academic year.  If you need help, feel free to contact us at: ImpactEducationTN@gmail.com

In addition to our homeschool consulting  services, we provide challenging and engaging weekly 1.5-hour classes for students in grades 6-12.   IMPACT Education is a tutorial program, not a school.  The services we provide are to assist parents who teach their students at home or those who wish to give their students an extra boost in preparation for college or for life.  We recommend that parents who teach their children at home enroll them in an umbrella school such as Aaron Academy for purposes of record-keeping and high school graduation.  For sports we recommend the Hendersonville Royals.

Our Philosophy

Our motto is “gracious words promote instruction,” (Proverbs 16:21) and we try to couch all our instruction in an atmosphere of grace.  We value relationships, laughter, games, art, humility, integrity, joy, and the use of both the right and left hemispheres of the brain.  We believe that “all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” are hidden in Jesus (Colossians 2:3)  We believe that secularization is an artificial construct which removes much of the meaning from knowledge, so it would be hard for us to teach from a secularized point of view.   We welcome inquiries from parents who are comfortable with our philosophy and who want to give their students robust and engaging learning experiences to help prepare them for life as well as for college.

  Our average class size is about 4 students. We close classes when enrollment reaches 8 – 10 students, depending on the subject matter and room size.  We are offering 29 classes for the 2019-2020 academic year.

If you want to sign up, you may  bring your application and student’s 200-1000 word essay detailing his or her personal learning goals with $75 application fee and have the student interview, then pay the $200 administrative fee and sign up for classes.  Course fees ($500 for a yearlong high school course, $250 for each one-semester course, $450 for each yearlong middle school course) may be paid in payments.

For a student taking two yearlong high school courses, the cost is $1275.  Some parents pay half before school starts then half in January, two payments of $638.

Many parents leave us 10 post-dated checks.  For instance, if a student is taking 5 full year high school courses, the cost would be $2775 for the year.  The payments would be $278 per month.  That’s a lot less than private school tuition, and we think the instruction we offer is much better.
