FAQ

Will the students have to wear uniforms?

Yes, Laurel will require students to wear a uniform and adhere to a dress code. We believe that uniforms decrease distractions and promote a spirit of community and unity. Teachers and staff are also required to wear professional attire.

What is your policy on homework?

We do not believe that homework should be assigned as busy work. If needed to reinforce or complete a lesson, we may ask students to spend a few minutes reading or working through a topic on their own at home.

What about extracurricular activities?

We are considering ways to make extracurricular activities available to our students. One idea under consideration is establishing a partnership with a nearby private school so that our students can play on their sports teams and engage in other activities.

Are non-Christian families welcome?

Bwing a Christian is not a requiremnt of enrollment. Families should, however, be comfortable with the children recieivng instruction in a school with a biblical worldview.

Will I be able to afford Laurel?

The only way to answer this question is to submit an application and request tuition assistance. We sincerely believe that no child should be denied a quality, Christian education because of the financial circumstances of their family. We are committed to helping families afford a Laurel eductiaon.

What if my child requires special education services?

We are not be able to accommodate students with significant needs. During our application process a discussion with a prospective family can be had to determine whether Laurel is a good match for a student who has less significant intervention needs.



Recipe for Excellent Students

“One class of children of all creeds, races, and colors.

Heaping doses of praise.

Daily doses of “You are bright, you can do it.”

Plenty of “You children are a promise, a great bundle of personality.”

Frequent reminders of “I will not let you fail.”

Mix thoroughly with bright, motivated, positive teachers until the eyes of children hold wonder like a cup.

Nurture above children for a few years, and there will be ample servings for the locales of the world, for society, and with equal ease, these children will one day maintain the American dream.

The temperature should always be warm, caring , dedicated, and genuinely loving.”    Marva Collins October 4, 1991
