Q:

A:

No. We're a nonprofit organization that provides academic, arts, career, and technology classes taught by qualified teachers to home-educated students in grades 5 - 12. Parents are responsible for checking in with their students to make sure they are keeping up with what is expected from their instructors.

Q:

A:

Parents are responsible to supervise and help their students with the homework Mid-Metro Academy instructors assign. The expectation is that parents are involved. Parents may communicate concerns or questions directly to the instructor to ensure their students' success in the class. Since students are homeschooled, parents assign the grades, although they can rely on feedback and assignment scores provided by class instructors.

Mid-Metro Academy is a drop-off class situation, which means that parents don't remain on site and don't normally attend classes with their students. If you have to stay on-site, you must sign in and you will be directed to the parent lounge.

Parents are responsible to make sure their students arrive for classes on time and are picked up promptly when the student's classes are finished. Students cannot be on site if they aren't in class (except for the lunch period). 

Q:

A:

We offer core academic, arts, business, and technology classes as well as a variety of elective classes for students in grades 5 - 12. Click Register on the menu bar for our 2025-2026 schedule. Click on the name of the class to see its description.

Q:

A:

Yes. For a $50/period/semester, students can remain on site during a free period on Mondays and Wednesday in our supervised study hall. Register for Study Hall just as you would register for a class. 

If your student needs a study hall last minute, the charge is $5/class period.

Q:

A:

Instructors may allow a student to register who is older or younger than the specified grade range for the class. Such situations require instructor approval and will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Feel free to email the instructor to discuss special situations. 

Q:

A:

Our instructors are highly qualified teachers who are passionate about their fields and about working with youth. Many have taught at homeschool academies and/or co-ops for years. They have served hundreds of homeschooling families, not only providing quality education but becoming trusted mentors and role models for home-educated young people. Many hold advanced degrees and/or have decades of experience in their fields and in education.
