What an exciting journey you are about to embark on! We are glad that you have decided to join us on this homeschool journey during the 2011-2012 school year.

We offer opportunities for both parents and students to be involved in activities that will support your academic, spiritual, and social lives. Please take advantage of some of these opportunities this year. <br /> <br /> SHIELD is not a third option accountability<br /> group.
