A brief history of our independent study program

This school began in 1988 as a Montessori school for kindergarten through fifth grade. It was extraordinarily successful and eventually expanded to cover the preschool through high school years. The high school program began in 1998 and has become quite successful.

Some of our students live too far away from the school to attend. For several years, we mailed materials back and forth so that these "distance learning" students could take advantage of our successful program. In 2004 we began putting our examinations online, so that students could take their assessments over the Internet from home. Many of our students are highly motivated and appreciate the opportunity to take examinations more quickly than typical public high schools allow. They also appreciate the prompt feedback they get from having their examinations scored by computer and posted immediately.

Today we serve many students in Daviess and surrounding counties. We also do makeup work, mostly in the summer, for students in public and private high schools throughout our area. Occasionally adults contact us about completing their own high school education.
