Orem Scholar School 
Liberal Arts for college-bound students ages 13-17

 

Harmony Ed has created a wonderful homeschool options program which will work well for scholar school students! 

If you sign up for two core classes, you can create your own curriculum and get $125 for each class to purchase the supplies/curriculum.  You can count Scholar school classes for this, and thus we can work together to get the supplies needed for Biology lab.  You also need to take 2 electives, which can be distance learning at your own pace, and one can be taking 1 to 6 classes at the OPTIONS classes at Merit Academy in Springville (such as theater!) 

QUICK FACTS: 

*To qualify, you must take:

Minimum of 2 core classes and 2 electives.

Choose for core classes:
