You can register each of your children through our super-convenient registration link. Registration occurs through our course catalog site and is very easy to complete, however we do address some common questions below. There are 30 weeks of instruction but offer a June-February payment option for your convenience.  (We do not charge by the week to make budgeting easier.)

Classes meet September through May. You can view our 24-25 calendar here. You can view our 23-24 calendar here. You can download our 2024-2025 calendar here.

This year we are offering our pay-in-full discount of 5% off your total amount, if you pay for the year by August 1, or upon enrollment after August 1. This is non-refundable. We also offer an additional 10% discount off your total invoice for 6+ a la carte class enrollment per child.

Our scholarship fund, EJE Memorial Education Fund, Inc. offers need-based scholarships to families who cannot afford our tuition rates. We also accept the NC Opportunity Scholarship as well as the ESA+ grant which helps many families have minimal out of pocket expenses for our programs. As a private school, we also can accept NC 529 Savings Funds. Our flexible payment options (monthly for 9 months, monthly for 12 months, credit cards, etc.) allow for families to spread out the payments in the most comfortable way for their family. ESA+ grant application is here: www.ncseaa.edu/k12/esa/esa-interested/ 

When you go through the registration process, you will select the classes for your child(ren). After paying the registration fee, your child(ren) will be added to the open seats or wait-lists for those classes. You must complete all required forms and pay the registration fee, deposit and supply fee to complete registration.

Your child will be added to the wait-list, and should an opening arise he or she will be added to the class.

Although the majority of our tutors are practicing Christians and we often will refer to our beliefs in conversation, we do not use Christian curricula or include Bible instruction in our classes, with a few exceptions such as our Bible class, when we offer it. We try to keep the instruction "religion-neutral" and avoid controversial topics. We also do not push any social agendas that may be concerning to families. We believe that religious education is the parents' right and duty to provide, not a tutor's. We welcome children from all religious and non-religious backgrounds. Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, loving, kind, and intellectual environment for all our learners.

ClassDojo is our communications app, and we love it because it's super easy to send messages to your tutors, see photos they take during the day, and ask questions about what is going on in class. We use it weekly to update you on what the learners are doing, and important Learning Habitat events and happenings!

Absolutely! There is only one exception to this: if a class meets twice a week, that is because we really feel the child needs to attend twice to get the most out of the program, and we do not offer discounts for just attending one time.  You may find, however, that your child wants to sign up for more classes if you only register for one! 

We are requiered by the state to provide parents with annual progress reports and will do so quarterly. We do not do traditional grading or testing. We assess our learners every time we meet to see how they are mastering the material, however, we do not need traditional assessments to do so. We try to keep the learning environment as stress-free and positive as possible, so we eliminate anything that could cause anxiety such as tests or quizzes. Any homework is optional, but provided for extra practice. We will help families complete the information needed for a high school transcript for 9th-10th grade learners who are home-schooled.

Yes. All of our learners age 7 and up must be registered as homeschool students with the state of North or South Carolina. North Carolina Home school Registration is here: ncadmin.nc.gov/divisions/non-public-education/home-schools/file-notice-intent-operate-home-school 

With the exception of severe anxiety or dangerous behavioral disorders, we can accommodate most learners with disabilities. Physical disabilities will be decided on a case-by-case basis due to our limited space and support personnel.  We can accommodate most hearing, speech, and sight disabilities, and almost all learning disabilities. Children on the autism spectrum typically do well in our program, but again may have needs beyond what we are capable of providing. Our code of conduct and behavior contract requires that all children be non-aggressive and non-violent. Repeated behavioral disruptions and outbursts are not acceptable. Obviously we can meet and discuss your specific concerns with your child before enrollment. 

Tours are available on weekdays by appointment. Email admin@thelearninghabitat.com for appointments. We will also have numerous Open House and Meet-and-Greet events throughout the year.
