- Umbrella schools:

Umbrella schools are organizations that supervise the education of homeschooled children and build ties among families who prefer this kind of education. For example, if you choose homeschooling because you want your child to receive some religious instruction during the day, you may find an umbrella school in your area that helps parents of your faith plan lessons, find curriculum materials, and allow children to take part in extra-curricular activities. Umbrella schools are sometimes called “cover” schools.

_____________

An umbrella school? What in the world is an umbrella/cover school?

An umbrella/cover school is a school which offers to oversee your child's education to meet your state's schooling requirements. It is up to the parent to provide weekly synopses of their child's work. We cannot "make up" a grade if the authorities come calling. Laws differ from state to state, and not all require school supervision. You can check your state's homeschooling laws at NHEN.



I don't want a curriculum. I just want a cover/umbrella school. Does GMCA offer this option?

Yes, GMCA offers the umbrella/cover school option. It is available in most states. We do require that a student be enrolled for at least 30 weeks before we may vouch for the student's academic achievements.



We have suggested to parents that if their state authorities ask about GMCA, the best response is that you as the parent are reasonably seeking an education for your child that best reflects your religious faith and values. (The First Amendment is a good thing to include in your explanation.)
