middlebury spanish 

​Students continue or begin their language-learning adventure in Elementary (grades 3-5) starting with Spanish I (version for grades 3-5) and if they chose, move on the next year to Spanish 2 (version for grades 3-5).  The content for each unit provides a fun and interactive experience for students and is based on an authentic story, myth, or legend from various Spanish-speaking cultures.  Although the course focuses primarily on vocabulary acquisition, basic grammar principles are intuitively grasped through stories, games, activities, songs and assessments.
​
The Middlebury Spanish for Elementary is an additional tuition charge for those families wanting this optional course.

virtual labs for science

No expensive equipment or supplies to purchase for your labs in the science courses as you follow the curriculum's virtual lab options. ​

Students will enjoy the labs for elementary as they complete their science program. Completing each lab will give the student understanding of the concepts being covered in their lessons.

​The student's labs will reinforce the material being presented to the engaged learner giving them a visual picture for that which was presented in the lesson on the topics  being covered.

use our assessment testing 

NFC Academy knows there are a variety of resources that should be used for educational placement for the student’s best success. Included in those comprehensive resources are items like previous school records, annual testing results, professional reports along with the option of diagnostic testing if needed, or if you just think it best.

All resources are important along with the input from the parent related to the student’s records thus far in school. We offer diagnostic testing at no charge for our enrolled students 1st – 8th grade. All testing is online for students entering 4th grade and above and a hard copy test administered at home for students entering 1st  – 3rd grade. ​

annual testing available 

Some states require some form of annual standardized testing for homeschool students. Typically, a test must be called a norm referenced test and not one similar to the various state created tests.

To enable our families to meet this requirement and to help us evaluate our academic program we make the Stanford Achievement Test Online available for our students.

The test given in April each year is online for grades 3-11 and for our K-2nd grade we use the booklet tests for students. The most recent test results for our elementary students is in the image showing the percentile scores of our students who took the test.  The median percentile score on this test is at the 50th percentile and you can see our students score well above that average.
