Parental Involvement

Parents have the opportunity at White Clay to participate in their child’s lessons during the school week. Our certified teachers will create a complete activity plan for our students each week. The activities and lessons planned, are presented and explored with your child on our three group interaction days of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and are rich in collaborative, creative, and hands-on activities. 

Our learning center fulfills the remainder of the required school hours by allowing our parents to supervise one or two of our independent study days themselves. The more independent learning activities such as; spelling, language practice, rewriting and reinforcement lessons are accomplished during a more condensed time at home. 

White Clay offers three schedule options to meet our families’ various needs.

1. 3-day curriculum with home schooling
   Tuesday through Thursday school attendance; parents provide home school activities on Monday and Friday. White Clay serves as evaluator.

2. 3-day full curriculum with White Clay-assigned home studies
   Tuesday through Thursday school attendance; parents supervise the independent study days of Monday and/or Friday. 

3. 4-day full curriculum with White Clay-assigned home studies
   Monday through Thursday, school attendance; parents supervise Independent study assignments on Friday.

White Clay also encourages parent volunteers to assist us with our group interaction during the school day. A tuition discount is given to families who wish to commit some of their time with us. Special arrangements can be made for families who wish for their child to complete both Monday's and Friday's independent study days at school.
