The HOME SCHOOLING Oversight Program
at Clinton Grace Christian School
The State of Maryland recognizes the Oversight Program at Clinton Grace Christian School as an authorized Home School Umbrella Program. Our primary responsibility is to ensure that home school parents are providing “regular, thorough instruction…” to their children. Twice yearly portfolio reviews are required. Our other services depend in part on the needs of the parents as teachers. We offer minimal oversight for the more experienced home school family, or a more intensive supervisory program if necessary.
We also offer optional support services. For a fee, students may:
Take up to two courses per semester on campus on a space available basis.
Participate in after-school sports.
Attend field trips by grade level.
Students meeting all of the necessary credit requirements may participate in graduation as well.
To apply for participation in the CGCS Home School Umbrella program, parents may download the home school application for the current school year (below) and send it with the application fee to the address below.
