My daughter is finally doing well academically and excelling! I appreciate this program not only for their excellent education department/team but allowing me, a single parent, the ability to provide for my child. Thank you Visions and Christina – my daughter’s teacher!
Our CT (credentialed teacher) is well educated in the homeschooling path and can advise and support us easily on our journey. Every curriculum request is handled quickly and efficiently and monthly enrichment days are enjoyed by our children.
We love Visions!! They are so organized, orders are quick and we print vouchers straight off the website. Trust me we have considered carefully the other choices in charter schools in the area but Visions and our amazing teacher have been a great fit for our family!
We have been to events hosted by Visions and they are even more enjoyable than the same type of event hosted by other schools! I was impressed and even kind of surprised. Love, love, love Visions In Education! Highly recommend.
with them for 8 years, and each year is better than the last. They give you as much support as you need and want. Both my kids are extremely happy with their education and freedom of learning. Our teacher has had our kids since kindergarten and knows them so well. Even this many years later we are happy with Visions and all they offer our kids, no other charter compares.

Homeschooling works best for families who want to take a more involved role in their child’s education. Home School families are provided with a budget to select their own curriculum from a variety of approved vendor options. Parent partners must be willing to provide four to six hours of instruction per day and regularly submit work samples for review.
Students born between September 2, 2020 and September 1, 2021 are eligible to apply for Transitional Kindergarten (TK) for the 25/26 school year. This is a two-year kindergarten program. Students five years and older can be homeschooled at any time the parent chooses.
Parents must be available to teach their students four to six hours a day, five days a week. Parent partners are not required to have any specific certifications as they are assigned a credentialed Visions teacher that provides support and ensures state mandated requirements are met. Parents meet with their Visions teacher once every 20 school days virtually or at a mutually agreed upon location.
Home School Academy students enjoy a variety of social opportunities and school organized activities. These include weekly events, organized play-days, student clubs, enrichment activities, and more!
Visions provides home school parents with all the tools and support they need to start teaching their child at home; no teaching credential required! Our staff and faculty are committed to supporting parent partners every step of the way, from lesson planning to ordering materials and resources. We also provide funding for conferences if parent partners want to develop their teaching skills even further.
Learning Assessments provide students with a clear view of where they stand academically and determine what they’re ready to learn next to build their individualized learning plan. Students in grades kindergarten through eighth will participate in the beginning and end of the year assessments using Curriculum Associates (iReady) for reading and math assessments. Learning Assessments will be referenced in the student’s Master Agreement and will be administered to all Visions students.
We support students with special needs through a variety of programs, including our Special Education Services.
Special Education: As a public school, Visions In Education provides special education and related services through Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to students who qualify. The service delivery model at Visions varies from that typically provided at a traditional school campus with a focus on individualized supports uniquely designed to enable eligible students to make progress within our home school and independent study programming.
In our home school model, parent partners and students alike are provided with support from both general education and special education teachers. While parent partners provide daily instruction through a homeschooling model, the student’s credentialed teacher and special education team will always work with families to make progress toward student goals.
In the Independent Study and University Prep Early College academies, students attend general education classes with the support of special education teachers and service providers. Each student’s IEP team will carefully craft an IEP that supports them in this unique setting with careful consideration of accommodations necessary to access instruction. Our special education case managers work closely with their general education counterparts to provide the appropriate support and guidance individualized for the student.
We look forward to working together as a team to create an IEP that is reasonably calculated to provide educational benefit to our students. For more information please contact our Enrollment Team.
