Coastal Academy

When my husband and I felt led to home school our son in 2014, we didn't know anything about home schooling. Coastal Academy helped clarify everything about what our responsibilities were and what questions we needed to answer. They provided us with recommendations and resources for curriculum and the opportunity to find what style of education was right for our family. We are not a "traditional" home schooling family in any sense - I'm a full time working mom and our son had wonderful, caring teachers and great experiences during his formative years in public school. Coastal Academy allows us to belong to a supportive community while following the unique path we feel is right for our son.

I cannot express enough how much I love our school! As homeschoolers we’re always questioned about “socialization” and Coastal Academy is always my first answer! Not only does my social-butterfly daughter love all the friends she continues to make each year with Coastal but I, an introvert, have also made so many friends in just the short time we’ve been attending! My daughter and I always look forward to every Coastal event: we have field trips and dances and park days—its just so much fun getting together! That’s the fun part, but another one of my favorite things about Coastal Academy is that they take the “scary” out of homeschooling. I’m talking about record keeping and keeping us legal! We don’t have to file a Private School Affidavit - they do that for us. We don’t have to report to the state - the school does that too! Coastal even provides templates for reporting attendance, progress, and grades - all I have to do is turn them in to the school! It’s so easy and takes the guess work out of private homeschooling. Thank you Coastal Academy!

We have been with Coastal Academy for 16 years and have found the staff and fellow families very supportive and friendly. They have been there for me through the good times and listening and praying through the challenging times of homeschooling. Jesus is wonderfully at the center here.

I love that they put together a variety of field trips, an excellent yearbook that the students help put together, and a very personal graduation ceremony. We have graduated one child and have one in high school and another in middle school. They, as well as I the mom, have each made life-long friends there. I highly recommend this school.

We have been attending this school since 2002 and have successfully graduated one child who was easily accepted into the private college of his choosing and are still homeschooling a junior higher. We have found Coastal to be very supportive while not intrusive - a great balance of support and freedom. Our children have found wonderful supportive peers here and their Academy Day program is wonderful!
