Saint Ambrose Academy recommends children start the Montessori class when they are around the age of 3 in order to progress through the 3 year cycle prior to 1st grade. SAA will accept NEW students ranging from the following: 2 year-olds who turn three by September 1st up to 5 year-olds (Anyone enrolling a 5 year-old must reach out to Administration for further conversation). All students in the Montessori class must be potty trained as well as be able to follow simple instructions. Since the Montessori method works best when children are introduced at an early age, we will not be accepting NEW 6 year-olds to our Montessori class (unless they have had prior Montessori schooling and meet with our Montessori teacher). In order to be able to support all families, we are offering a wonderful classical kindergarten class following the Mother of Divine Grace curriculum for those who fall within this category.

Saint Ambrose Academy High School Options:

Option A** (RECOMMENDED): Enroll in SAA and enroll in MODG with Teacher Services

• Families may choose whichever level of teacher services works for their student.
• 2-3 writing-based subjects per grade level require teacher services (not all subjects require teacher services)
• To review the details and options around MODG Teacher Services please visit modg.org/programs/teacherservices
• MODG Accredited high school education

Option B**: Enroll in SAA and enroll in MODG with ZERO Teacher Services

• MODG Education with all of the grading and credit management on the parents (advisor assistance on appropriate grades based on assessment performance) However, it is important to note, while parents still have access to the standard MODG provided consultation services, the responsibility of meeting writing formation goals, meeting assignment objectives, and so forth falls on the shoulders of the parents if they are NOT going to enroll in teacher services for the writing-based courses as noted in Option A.

Option C**: Enroll in SAA Only

• All grading, credit management and transcripts are the responsibility of the parent
• Not a MODG accredited high school education

NOTE:

** In regards to grading at the Highschool level (Options A – C), Grading for Teacher Service noted courses will be the responsibility of the parent and their assigned MODG teacher service provider. Grading for non-teacher service courses will be viewed as a partnership between the teachers at SAA and parents. Teachers may provide grades for some in-class work or assignments, in addition to quarterly progress reports, but as homeschoolers the responsibility of calculating, reporting and recording grades to MODG (Option A or B) or your own transcripts (Option C) is solely the parent’s responsibility. **
