What grades are you enrolling for the upcoming school year?

We plan to serve one cohort for our first year of school for students 2nd-5th grade. Students will be taught on-grade level in a mixed grade classroom. Our plan will be to grow with our students as they age.

What schedule will REC follow?

The traditional 5-day, 8-hour school model was born during the Industrial Revolution—not because it was best for children, but because it served society’s needs at the time. Rooted Ed takes a different path.

Rooted Ed has school in-person, three days per week (Tuesday-Thursday) from 10 am until 2 pm. We are a “cooperative” education program, meaning we do not provide all hours required by the state of Kentucky. Of the 170 days required, your student will be in-person at Rooted 108 days. The remaining days are considered “parent partnership”. We provide a curriculum guide for how you can support your child from home.

Where is the REC building?

Great question! We ask that you reach out to us directly to discuss location for privacy and safety.

What is the financial investment per student?

Our current tuition is $3,500/per student with a $500 discount per additional students enrolled from the same family. Tuition can be paid in-full, monthly on a ten-month or twelve-month plan.

Tuition will include:

• In-person instruction 3 days per week

• Parent-partnership curriculum- no additional curriculum would be required for purchase beyond what we supply

• Collaborative field trip opportunities, including summer events

• Family fellowship events

• One optional coop trip (expenses not included) per year

How to grades and transcripts work? What paperwork is involved with the state?

Your student will be registered with the state of Kentucky as a “homeschool” student. At the start of each school year, we will provide each family with a letter to submit to their local superintendent, reporting your child’s academic status in compliance with state requirements.

Families will receive a complete set of records, including a transcript, attendance, skills assessments, and standards-based grading reports, for their own files. If your child ever needs to enroll in a different school or academic program, these records—along with documentation from your parent-partnership participation—will be fully sufficient to demonstrate academic progress.
