• Donation Drive  

    Our Donation Drive for the year is open.  

    Please see the Parent Pre-Enrollment Course for links to donate and a full breakdown of our budget for the year.  We had a loan from the admin team's personal budgets to cover a few of last year's expenses.  We have had higher server costs while we have needed both sites open during the upgrade.

    To Get Enrollment Keys . . .

    To be ready as classes start enrolling, please complete this Parent Pre-Enrollment course now.  Upon completion, this will give you the enrollment keys.  Both existing families and new families need to complete this 2021-22 parent course, even if you did it last year.  It has important changes for the new school year.    This replaces the live parent orientation classes during summer that we required in the past.

    This same course will help you get set up for either live or AYOP classes.  Only the PARENT needs to complete this Pre-Enrollment course.  This is on our vhsg-live.org site, so sign into your parent account (or create one if you haven't yet on that site) to complete the course.

    This course will give information about which classes may be able to run if we get teachers, how you can help our co-op by teaching, building courses or donating, and how the enrollment process for both live and AYOP classes will work.

     

    Enrolling in Live Classes

    Enrollment has opened for the first of our 2021-22 live classes.  They seat first come, first serve for EARLY SEATING families and waiting list for GENERAL SEATING families.  Don't wait to enroll, or they may fill up.   Classes will start enrolling as we get teachers and finish builds on a few classes, so consider volunteering.  What is available to run live will depend on YOU! 

    See the bottom of the vhsg-live.org home page for enrolling classes.  Enrollment keys are in the Parent Pre-Enrollment course.

    VOLUNTEER TO TEACH

    Teacher Recruit is underway.   Contact vhsgteacher@gmail for more information about volunteering to teach.  Our Teacher Recruit Team is available to answer your questions.  

    We need live teachers for:  Apologia General Science, Apologia Physical Science, Apologia Biology, Apologia Chemistry, Apologia Advanced Biology, Saxon 54, Saxon 65, Saxon 76, Saxon Algebra 1/2, Saxon Algebra 1, Mystery of History 3 Middle School, Mystery of History 4 Middle School, Mystery of History 3 High School (fall semester), Mystery of History 4 High School (spring semester), Logic, and Open Office Hours Volunteer Tutors.

    If build gets done in time, we may also recruit for Notgrass Government, Notgrass Economics, North Star Geography (High School - Full Book), North Star Geography (Middle School - First Half of Book), Science in the Beginning (Grades K-3), Science in the Beginning (Grades 4-6).  These will not run unless fully built.

    VOLUNTEER TO BUILD

    Other classes will not run live this year unless build is finished.  There are a couple brand new builds and a couple rebuilds for new editions.  The following classes will NOT enroll students unless build is finished.  Join the Volunteer Build Team to help us get them ready.  We have to prioritize or no new classes will get finished this year.  The ones on this list have SOME POSSIBILITY of getting finished if we work together.  They will NOT get finished if only the Admin Team is working on them.  There is too much to do.

    Classes Build Team is working on:  North Star Geography, Science in the Beginning, Notgrass Government (new edition), Notgrass Economics (new edition), Study Skills (upgrade - will not likely enroll for this fall, but may make it for second semester sessions)

    NOTE:  Mystery of History 1 and 2 need conversion to new editions prior to running again, but did not make the cut-off for the first projects being done on them in time.  There is way to much left to do for them to run this year as live classes and we are focusing on the other classes above first.  Families are encouraged to join the Build Team so we can get them built to offer as live in future years or get ready for AYOP at whatever point they are fully built.

    SEATING IN LIVE CLASSES

    Seating will be first come, first serve for early seating families this year, so don't wait until August 1 to complete the Parent Pre-Enrollment course.  Enroll in live classes as soon as you can once they open before they fill.  Please consider volunteering to teach so we can seat as many students as possible.

    Timing . . .

    Seating in the classes and processing donations for Early Seating is a manual process.  There are only so many hours in the day and the admin team is all volunteer.  We also have family events and vacations to fit in.  Especially in the mid July time frame, you may stay in the temporary course for a week or so while the volunteer Admin Team has other obligations.  As soon as we can start seating again, the enrollments will be processed in the order they enrolled.  Please be patient and do not ask to be bumped to the front of the line.  

     We will have important status updates on the top of this website homepage and in Facebook.
