HTS is a unique ministry to the home schooling family and therefore it is important that participating families understand not just our goals, but how we will strive to achieve them and in particular, the family’s role in this process. Our purposes reach far beyond what one sees on a day when classes meet. Over the past few years we have become increasingly more intentional and deliberate in carrying out these purposes. Our communication of this vision is important because our experience has shown that families who enter our community with a clear understanding of these purposes do well and receive far more in return. This is why we provide a venue to discuss the vision of HTS. In 2006 we began offering “HTS101” to answer questions like these: What is HTS all about? Why is there such an emphasis on parental involvement? How can my family get the greatest benefit from HTS? Updates to this policy include, but are not limited to, the willingness of all parents and teachers to submit to a criminal background check. HTS101 will be offered from 7:30pm-9:00pm on-site on Thursday, May 6, 2021. Families who are considering partnering with HTS for the upcoming academic year are encouraged to attend to gain a fuller understanding of the Who, What, and Why of HTS. An additional HTS101 will be offered to parents new to HTS on Thursday, Sept. 23 beginning at 7:30pm. Staff members will be available after both HTS101 offerings to answer individual questions that may arise.
