A NOTE ABOUT OUR CURRICULUM...

Shurley English and Horizons Math are used throughout our program and chosen specifically for their rigorous approach to laying a firm foundation in skills that students need to be successful in High School and beyond. Otherwise, the curriculum for classes offered at eXtend Tutorial is chosen by the individual tutors. Each tutor is asked to choose a published spine/text which may be supplemented by other materials that they source or create. At times, the most economical and readily available text is not entirely ideal, and the tutor may choose to use some of the material as a framework, but not design the course to follow it completely. Also, the authors or publishing companies, and some material in the published texts may espouse ideas that do not align with your family’s values. In that case, tutors may point out issues, or choose to ignore them altogether. While every effort is taken to ensure the required resources do not violate the basic tenets of the eXtend Tutorial Statement of Faith, it is impossible for us to scrutinize the curriculum through the filter of every family enrolled. To that end, we strongly advise each parent to carefully vet the curriculum list according to your family’s standards before enrolling your student in a class. Tutors are not responsible for parents’ displeasure with any curriculum choices after the fact.

A La Carte Classes

All classes are taught in a group setting by qualified tutors in an engaging, structured setting.

Because classes are provided a la carte, families have the flexibility of taking as few or as many classes as they wish. You are under no obligation to take the full compliment of classes, but instead are able to tailor a schedule to meet your student's individual needs.

Paying for Classes -- CLASS TUITION IS PAID DIRECTLY TO THE TUTOR BY THE PARENT

Annual tuition for all elementary and middle school classes is $335 per class, per student (plus any applicable materials/lab/copy fees as specified by the tutor). The exceptions are Elementary/ Middle School Elective Classes (i.e. Music and Physical Education), which meet once a week and are $185 for the year.

Annual tuition for high school classes is $360 per class WITH THE EXCEPTION OF Algebra 2 and Advanced Math (both classes have extended instruction time and content), per student (plus any applicable materials/lab/copy fees as specified by the tutor). Physical Education meets once a week and is $185 for the year. Please see the Course Descriptions document for specifics.

A NOTE ABOUT ACADEMIC INTEGRITY...

eXtend Homeschool Tutorial has adopted the following definitions for plagiarism and cheating as stated by the University of Maryland. https://academiccatalog.umd.edu/undergraduate/registration-academic-requirements-regulations/academic-integrity-student-conduct-codes/

Cheating: fraud, deceit, or dishonesty in any academic course or exercise in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage and/or using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic course or exercise.

Plagiarism: representing the words or ideas of another as one's own in any academic course or exercise.

In an effort to maintain academic integrity and to provide accountability to our students, our policy for addressing plagiarism and/or cheating is as follows:

First offense- Loss of grade on that assignment, parents will be contacted by the tutor who may offer additional counsel to the parent and student on ways to avoid plagiarizing in the future.

Second Offense- Student will be withdrawn from the class, however, parents are still responsible for payment pursuant to the tutorial financial policy.
