FAQ :

What grades are the classes for?
With most LAH programs, we carry the 'parents know best' policy when deciding grade level. Obviously all Apologia courses, with the exception of Botany and Astronomy, are geared for jr/high school levels. Please see Apologia scope and sequence for their recommendations. Elementary courses are labeled as such and are geared for 3-6 grades.

What volunteer positions are there?
Parents are encouraged to volunteer for certain dates in leading the class time. Parents are encouraged to coordinate classes. Clean up volunteers are needed as well.

What about nursery?
At this time LEAP does not have a nursery, nor a nursery coordinator.

Supplies?
Supplies are scheduled into the class fee and are the teacher's responsibility to over see. Lab supplies for the high school level apologia courses are divided at time of enrollment and distributed among participating families. Fees are dependant upon class size. Fees include lab and dissection supplies.
