Academic Programs
HomeTech Charter offers two academic programs that allow staff to serve the specific needs of our students. Both programs offer options for students to personalize their experience.

Our Home Study program offers an option for students who are looking for a more traditional independent study program.
Students complete most work independently at home in the following courses:

Students meet weekly with their teacher to turn in completed work, receive assistance and set personal learning goals.
Students primarily work with paper and pencil coursework

Hybrid Program
Our Hybrid program combines some traditional classroom elements with some of the flexibility that independent study offers. Students can take classes at the school that are led by credentialed teachers.
