Policies

Student standards

Students should follow the standards set forth in the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet put out by the LDS church.

Class attendance is not required, but it is highly suggested you attend every class.

Students should commit to studying and keeping up with assignments and their chosen projects.   

Students should be respectful to the mentors in and out of class.  Disruptive behavior will be reported to the student's parents. 

Students who do not contribute to the learning atmosphere (either by being disruptive, inattentive, non-participative or not studying), may be asked to drop out of the school. 

Students should help clean up after each day's classes are done. 

Parental Involvement

Parents should be highly involved in their student's education.  Parents of students in the scholar school are expected to help out and support as needed.

In keeping with the "You, not them" key to great teaching, parents are encouraged to set the example.  Parents could read the books their students are reading and discuss them at home.  Parents should also follow through with students to ensure they know what studying they should be doing and that they are doing it. 

Parents need to mentor their project scholar students at home, helping them keep on task and making sure they are prepared for the next class.  Parents should also make sure they provide their children with all the required books, and any extra books or resources their children would like to use.

Parents should drop their teenage children off on time and pick them up on time.  Parents and younger siblings should not wait at the home during classes (unless previous permission given.) 

Parents should pay tuition on time with the deadlines given. 

Service & Leadership emphasis

Students in the scholar school should also be developing leadership skills through teaching and helping others.  

Each family should plan one service project a year. 

Grading

The mentors will not issue any grades, but will offer "good job" or "do it again" along with feedback.  Some mentors may choose to offer certifications for completing items in the class.  Field trips may be used at the parent's disgression to offer as rewards for hard studying during the week.
