We are here during the times you need to lean on someone for more expert academic support.
Would you like your child to learn expert math, science, and reading/writing from teachers and STEM professionals? We are Homeschool Consultants who offer personalized, expert tutoring instruction to homeschooling for two reasons:
-
Parents who need help teaching subjects that may be out of their scope
-
Students who are not thriving academically in the public school atmosphere and need more one-to-one support.
Our homeschooling is probably very similar to yours. It is in a home setting (Tika's House) and limited to a small group of students who share the love of learning something well. We have a holistic teaching style to build expertise and give freedom to slow down or get ahead when a student needs it so they can thrive and learn at their own pace. We do offer a a more spiritual foundation and teach love and respect for ourselves, each other, god, nature, and country.
With the help of our experienced tutors and an amazing, affordable program we use called Schoolhouse Teachers along with online and textbook resources, we can help your child excel in their academics.
If you are looking to gain high school credit for a course through homeschooling, please contact your school for the application process. You can also use homeschooling a course to just plainly get ahead in school as well when credit is not needed and learning is priority.

Are CarpeDiem homeschool Courses accredited?
Simple answer is NO. Only schools can seek accreditation and we are not a school, but a tutoring company. As mentioned above, we are more accurately referred to as Homeschool Consultants who offer personalized, expert tutoring instruction to who are not thriving academically in the school atmosphere and need more one-to-one support. We teach your child the particular courses you choose for expertise in a shorter period of time with a higher level of expertise. This is the main reason we use the affordable programs from Schoolhouse Teachers. Saving money allows you to hire us and give your child live, exceptional tutoring so they receive the best education and academic foundation. Online courses do offer accreditation, but those courses do not offer personalized learning.
All homeschool courses are eligible to transfer to your public or private school. If you would like to pursue this route, please contact your school district for their homeschool policies.
With the help of pre-organized lesson plans provided, we will create a portfolio of your child's work to submit to your school to earn credits for graduation requirements. Please feel confident you have options to help your child succeed academically whether full time, in-school or using us for part-time homeschool support. The goal of every educator should be to help children in our community to succeed academically, while feeling mentally and emotionally supported in whatever format helps them.
This company offers unparallel education for the best price! As a homeschool mom, I cannot tell you what a god-send this was when I started homeschooling my 4 children varying in 8 years. Although I supplement with my own ideas, online resources, and textbooks, SHT provides the basic framework for many of the classes we offer. Check them out, buy a membership, and start homeschooling your child today! Remember, we are here if you need any supplemental teaching beyond your scope!
All Schoolhouse Teachers courses are written by teachers. Their courses are not accredited by any agency. Only a school can be accredited. However, transferring credits should not be a problem for your public or private high school given the proper and complete course information and transcript. This membership includes access to Applecore which gives you options for: Course Tracking, Grade Reporting, Report Cards, and a Portfolio.
