Engaging, Individualized, & Rigorous Curriculum
Our curriculum is not bound by any national or state standards. We use standard grade-level curriculum standards as a guide, allowing our students' needs to guide and inform instruction. Common Core Standards are also used as a guide because we have found that combining traditional curriculum with Common Core methodology helps children to build a solid foundation. Formal and informal assessment is used to gauge student needs and we go from there! Everything we teach is adapted to meet the needs of our students.
Continual Opportunities for Connection & Socialization
We keep our class sizes small to moderate in size to maximize engagement and connection among students and teachers.
Maximized Growth Potential
with Multi-Level Classes
Our philosophy is that when children of mixed abilities are grouped together, everyone gets what they need to learn from each other collaboratively and to reach the next level. For example, for the 2023-2024 school year, we will be offering classrooms spanning K-8th grade. We are able to support some high schoolers who benefit from middle school level academics and connect with our small, encouraging peer groups. As we continue to grow and as enrollment allows, we will add even more classrooms.
​
Less time = MORE Learning Model
We truly believe that success and achievement require dedication and effort, however, that doesn't mean that children need to be in classes for 6+ hours per day to learn optimally. Our classes are structured with power hours and movement in mind! This means that in 45-90 minute school days, meeting Monday through Thursday, we will meet and exceed our learning goals! In kindergarten and first grades, we meet for 45+ minutes and the growth is amazing. Concentrated, meaningful, and intentional learning time supercedes hours spent in a classroom or online learning environment. Yes, we offer additional courses and learning time for enrichment subjects and topics, but our amazing framework happens within this model.
Affordable Tuition Rates,
Exceptional Value
We believe that exceptional private education should be accessible to anyone who desires it. Therefore, we have set our price point to be much less than your average private school, online courses, or tutoring programs. The rate you will be paying for tuition will translate into exponential growth and individualized attention for your child, all without leaving the comforts of your home. When children feel safe and valued, their attention and learning potential become practically limitless, making the value of this immersive schooling priceless!
We also offer discounts to military families, first responder families, and for multiple siblings. We are working on our scholarship program for the upcoming school year, so please contact our founder at ashley@wholechildU.com for more information or if you need an alternate payment plan. We accept WV Hope Scholarship. We are expanding our finance options because we do not want cost to be an issue for anyone who feels aligned with our heart-centered programming. Also, we are working to become a vendor for charter schools and states with ESAs. If you would like for us to apply for your state, please let us know.

Tentative Schedule for 2022-2023

*We love mixed age level groups because everyone learns from each other and classes are able to be both challenging and engaging on an even higher level!
*As enrollment increases, we will add additional classes for each individual grade level. Our lead teacher for all grade levels will be our highly qualified founder and teacher, Ms. Ashley Matheny.
Additional amazing teachers are currently being selected for our engaging add-on classes and will be announced soon! Add-on classes will take place one hour before or after the scheduled times for each grade level. (Kindergarten is a lesser cost than normal tuition if we determine that your child only needs one of the classes. We will assess to determine their needs.)

Answers to Common Questions
We are not accredited but for good reasons! We have not yet found an accreditation that we are aligned with. Accreditation means losing a lot of freedoms which is one of our core values We fully believe that education should feel like freedom and JOY.
Our Founder and Director of Education, Ashley Matheny, is a certified teacher in her state with over a decade of experience. We also believe that by keeping our school small, we help our students thrive on higher levels than they would doing other programs that do not have such a high level of live components. Homeschool law typically does not require accreditation and what we do is worth way more than status- ask any of our families! 😀
We provide report cards and use Google classroom for records which you can use if your state requires portfolio reviews. We help with that process as well when needed. We are here for you and your family.
