Yes. PEP is a home school program. The coursework is to be studied and completed at home under the guidance of a parent. Studies show that the higher the parental involvement in education, the higher the academic achievement. The Discipleship Model of Education (parents with Christian church teachers) is a biblical form of education, and therefore, is the secret to the success of this program and your child's success as a student and person. Junior high students will need help with time management and much of the academic work. By the latter high school years, students should be working as independently as possible in preparation for a college schedule.
