Homeschool Hybrid

Augusta Christian Academy is offering a HOMESCHOOL HYBRID PROGRAM for families with children in 1st grade through 8th grade beginning in August 2023. The hybrid program allows families to continue to experience the flexibility of the homeschool schedule and instructional time with their children while also providing them with the opportunity to attend a full day of Christian school with same aged peers. While participating in the HOMESCHOOL HYBRID PROGRAM, students are able to experience elective classes such as art, pe, music, and bible class as well as participate in athletics, and attend grade level field trips and school sponsored activities.
