FAQs



General

Q:

Do you accept the Personalized Education Plan (PEP) or Unique Abilities (UA) Scholarship through Step Up For Students?

A:

GHC is not a direct pay provider for the PEP or UA scholarship though Step Up For Students.  PEP and UA families need to pay GHC tuition up front.

However, GHC tuition IS fully reimbursable though PEP and UA and we do provide a very helpful receipt for reimbursement upon request. 

All families who were awarded PEP or UA for the 23-24 school year were successfully reimbursed with the specially-created receipt GHC provided upon request last school year.  On average the timeline from requesting a PEP receipt from GHC, to submission of the request to SUFS, to approval, to deposit is around 2-3 months.  

After tuition is paid in full, please email your receipt request to:  GraceConnectionsFL@gmail.com and put "PEP Receipt" in the subject line.   

Due to the large number of families needing these specially-created documents, please anticipate it taking up to 4 weeks from the date of your request for your invoice/receipt to be produced and sent.  

Students who applied for and were awarded a partial discount thorugh the GHC private scholarship cannot recieve a receipt for PEP or UA reimbursement.  

 

Q:

How old does my child need to be to participate?

A:

Grace Homeschool Connection serves children in Kindergarten through 6th grade.  
Kindergarteners must turn 5 by August 1st of the current school year to participate in any of our 3 terms. 

Q:

How many sessions/terms do you have in a school year?

A:

Grace Homeschool Connections has 3 terms per school year:

FALL - 12 Weeks: from late August to mid-November
WINTER - 12 Weeks: from early January till early April
SPRING - 6 Weeks: from mid April till late May

There are no GHC sessions during the summer.  

Q:

How big are your class sizes?

 

A:

We have 3 sections of classes:

1. Kindergarten - 2nd grade

2. 2nd - 4th grade

3. 4th - 6th grade

Each class has roughly 20 students. 

Each teacher has an assistant in their classroom.  In addition the K-2 class has an assistant that travels exclusively with that class as they visit their main "anchor" classes of the day.  

Choice classes have one teacher, but the number of assistants varies per class depending on the number of students in the class.




 

Q:

Do you allow parents to stay with their children during classes?

A:

GHC is a drop off program.
We have had parents stay for a short period of time the first day of class or even the second and third to get the child acclimated.  
In our experience we've had nearly all students integrate well and greatly enjoy their time at GHC.  
In the very rare instance a student needs to withdraw due to being unable to acclimate, families will receive a refund for the remainder of the term.
