Home Schooling Handbook

Enrollment in our full program will provide you with our Home Schooling Handbook and a complete set of forms for each student enrolled. The Home Schooling Handbook gives guidance and information on how to use our program. This is your "training manual." It is also recommended that parents attend the BCE Teacher Training sessions. These sessions are very helpful for parents to become familiar with the basic concepts and methodology of the individualized program. Call BCE for current training dates and prices.

The Home Schooling Handbook gives guidance and information on:

• Diagnosis & Prescription
• Graduation Requirements
• How To Use the Curriculum
• Built-In Learning Tools that are part of the Curriculum
• Goal Setting
• Record Keeping (forms available and how to use these effectively)
• Ordering Curriculum

Diagnostic Testing and Placement

Upon enrollment each student (grades 2-12) is administered the diagnostic tests to determine skill and concept mastery. BCE will evaluate the test results and work with you to determine you student's needs and prescribe curriculum that meets and challenges the student at his/her achievement level. Five academic areas are tested: English, math, Word Building (spelling), Social Studies and Science. Testing evaluates math, English, and spelling concepts to determine placement levels according to level of mastery. The Social Studies and Science testing is designed to determine reading comprehension skills. We also offer additional diagnostic tools and other aids which can be found at the RESOURCE (link) button and are also provided with the Diagnostic kit.

If weak areas are evident from the testing, the appropriate gap PACEs are prescribed to strengthen specific weaknesses. After completing the gap PACEs, the student begins continuous progress at his achievement level. Test results make it possible to determine the student's academic performance level for proper curriculum placement enabling the student to work with confidence and experience the reward of achievement. He can continue to progress at his own speed with proper controls and motivation. Proper academic diagnosis and prescription is vital to a student's success.

Projected Course of Study (High School)

When students enter ninth grade, we complete a projected course of study for their four years of high school. Three courses of study are available: college preparatory, general, and vocational. We prepare a High School Academic Projection, listing the courses required each year for graduation.

Transcripts / Enrollment Verification

BCE keeps an Academic Record of your child's progress. BCE will provide official transcripts for schools and colleges as requested. BCE also provides enrollment verification, if needed.

Diplomas

When students have met all the requirements for graduation, BCE will issue a Accredited High School Diploma.  BCE is accredited by the National Association of Private Schools.

(Transfer students must earn a minimum of 4½ credits from BCE). Diplomas are mailed, unless specified otherwise. BCE will also issue eighth grade diplomas upon request.
