Curriculum: We strive for free to low cost to minimum out-of-pocket expenses.  We do acquire school and teacher licenses whenever we can and will print out what is needed for teacher/classroom use. Sometimes, publishers do not permit this.  In such cases, you will need to obtain the curriculum, at your own expense.

*** SCHOOL CHOICE FUND FAMILIES ***

For those who are participating in the School Choice funding, please be aware that Res Novae Academy has 2 listings as a vendor.  1- Participating School ($7,000 funding) and 2-Tutor Program $2,000 Funding option.

If you are enrolling in our program (on-site and flex), select "Private School" option.  If you are enrolling in our Flex or Co-op program, you can utilize the "Tutor" option.

Enrollment Process

Step 1: Submit the enrollment form

Step 2: We'll review the form and schedule a time to meet with you and your child at our school to ensure we are the right option for your student(s). This program isn't for every family.  We do this to ensure the family is committed to working together to educate a child.  We offer a program, but it is up to each parent to ensure the student is learning. We are not a program for a family looking to delegate responsibility and remain hands off. This is not our model nor vision.

Step 3: After step 2, we'll send you the final forms for agreements as well as a link to submit your enrollment fees and establish your monthly tuition payment plan.

Paying for your students:

We accept: Payment in full, 10 monthly payments (or 5 if you enroll mid-year), or school choice funds.

Apply for ESA funds:  CHOOSE Act Alabama 

RNA is an approved Education Service Provider (partner school) with ALDOR.  This means if you select our program, each of your students is eligible for the $7,000 funding portion of the Choose Act.

If you choose RNA as a Tutor program, your students are eligible for $2000 each and that caps out at $4,000 meaning you can only use it for 2 of your students.

Notes:

We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, or sex.

We do not discriminate based on whether you utilize self-pay, monthly payments or ESA funding.

If your family isn't eligible under the ESA funding guidelines and cannot afford tuition, we are pleased to still accept your application. We do actively fundraise and search for grants to help families afford tuition.

If you apply for School Choice funds and use them to pay for our program, you are responsible for paying all fees that the ESA funding doesn't cover, up to and including tuition, even if School Choice doesn't make a payment to us.

Res Novae Academy is an approved Education Service Provider / Partner school and a tutor through the Alabama Department of Revenue for accepting School Choice funding.    

Whether you are looking for enrollment into our on-site program or any of our other homeschooling programs, we are pleased to be able to serve the diverse needs of our community.

We do not perform state standardized testing. This is not a requirement of non-public schools in Alabama. We don't offer ACT, SAT, CAT, or any similar testing at this time. We will be looking to add these options for families as part of our future growth plan.

We do assess students at the beginning & conclusion of the school year.  We do this to determine what skills they have and which skills they need to work on. This is required for the admissions in grade 3 and above. We assess students to gauge their understanding and mastery of materials to ensure they are ready to advance to the next level.  

Science, History & Geography are assessed based on the curricula used. We will conduct an end of year assessment in these subject areas as well.

Students in levels 1 -3 (except grade 9) will receive a mastered or not mastered designation.

Students in Grade 9 and level 4 will receive a numerical grade necessary to establish transcripts.

If you elect us as your "school" and you enroll as a private school student and you will need to adhere to our educational requirements of:

• 170 of attendance per school year
• We offer 30 weeks of instruction 2 times each week.  You are responsible for instruction the remainder of the time when not in class based on the work assigned in the student LMS.
• Instruction in the core subjects: We provide Math, Grammar/Literature, Science, History & Geography, and a minimum of 2 electives each school year. All of which we provide.
• Adhere to testing and assessment guidelines.  We will assess prior to the beginning of the year and at the end of the year.  You will receive a copy of the end of the year assessment.
• Portfolio submissions and documentation of at-home learning progress. Nothing too complicated as we'll be seeing their folders when they come into class.
• High school graduation requirements as posted.

Semester 2 enrollment fees are ONLY for those who enroll mid-year.  This does not apply to those who paid the enrollment fee at the beginning of the year.
