[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I should have included in my post that it seems that her kids go to regular Philly public schools in the fall and spring, they just move to VT for the winter. If they home schooled all year I would understand it better. [/quote]

Some of the ski academies do just winter semesters.[/quote]

Yes, but most public schools in other parts of the country aren’t going to excuse kids for 3 months to go ski. [/quote]

They do t have a choice.  People are aloud to move.  If there kid is enrolled in a academy, it isn’t like their kid isn’t enrolled in an accredited school.  Academy programs just have a different daily schedule to accommodate sports.  We have a friend who’s daughter does horse jumping in season in Wellington and attends an academy there and the rest of the year attends her zoned school in the DC area.

Neighbor has a kid in a golf academy school in SC.  They have longer breaks because a chunk of the kids are from overseas.

We do long trips with our kid who is not in an academy. He is a great student, so if husband school wants to fail him, fine. Experiences he has teach him a lot more than school. [/quote]

All interesting. Do you know how schools flowd vis a vis the academies? Like for a high schooler - maybe their geometry class is studying vectors in November, and then when they switch to the academy school that is what their geometry class is studying in January? Or do the academies provide indovidualized education to match the order of their home school classes? I know nothing about this and it fascinates me. I get worried about the “catch up” if my kids miss more than a few days of school due to illness! [/quote]

All depends on the academy and the school.  Some work hand and hand.  The academies that value academic instead of just trying to click the education block are typically ahead/on the more advanced end due to the almost personalized education.  The kid we know at golf academy has 3 kids in his math class.[/quote]

This is correct. I have kids at a ski academy. [/quote]
