GECS typically serves four types of student populations:
Traditional home school students - These students are generally supported in their educational endeavors by their parents, and they complete the bulk of their schooling at home. They may also take enrichment or core classes in the community or at the school site, such as science, literature, music, or gymnastics. The credentialed teacher helps guide the parents to be the finest teachers of their children.
Hybrid Students - Students new to homeschooling that are looking for a blended program including home instruction, classes and enrichment activities provided by our learning centers, and community classes. The credentialed teacher's involvement may vary from advisory and assessment capacity to one of almost complete administration of the student learning process.
Independent study students - These students generally at risk, have not been successful in traditional public school, and need extra help to meet their educational goals. These students meet with their credentialed teacher on a weekly basis, to receive instruction, receive new assignments and get feedback on assignments they have already completed.
Site-Based High School Students – We offer a unique student lead site-based high school program. This is a community oriented, democratic student run school that facilitates student-lead learning.
