Which do you (or your children) intend to participate in?

At AFE, there are NO GOVERNMENT or CORPORATE investors/stakeholders. You investing in your (or your child’s) education.

AFE as community education, is accountable to it's stakeholders and therefore uses tools and resources (this website being key) to eliminate any unnecessary expenses. As a transparent organization with engaged members, each local community counsels together for the balance of providing the most value to the families and being the most equitable way of filling that need.

Whenever possible supplies, curriculum, tools, etc... are gathered in to each location and shared out to the participating students.

For you (or your child's) particular needs, you are responsible for providing those supplies (e.g. pencils, scriptures, paper, art supplies, etc.)

It is the responsibility of the students/parents to attend the necessary days or to notify your local school when you will be absent. Your membership or investment gives you access to this community, but does NOT commit you to mandatory attendance. Likewise, students who do less than fully participate in all their chosen activities cannot expect recompense for things they've missed.

Daily It is encouraged that families, each day, spend a few minutes reviewing each student's progress, and then allow students to have time on their own or with their families to continue their projects or exercises and to read.

American Family Education honors family time and will never assign homework to young students. These students are guided by parents as to how much additional efforts are needed at home.

Monthly Monthly goals planning & mentoring is recommend between the parent(s) and each student. Checking in with your group leader and recording your plan in your child’s Edge Journal ensures your plan is honored while your student is in class. Without monthly goal planning, the students don't have a plan, therefore, the school leaders are unable to support the students and you as their parents. This monthly counsel can happen at home or be scheduled at the school during class time. If the Local Group Leader agrees, monthly goal planning meetings between the leader, student & the student’s parents can be scheduled outside of the regularly scheduled academic hours/days. (As a fact to face, video call or phone call.)

These meetings are vital to the progress of each student and should be no more that a 15 minute meeting and be completed before the first day of class each month.

The Dress Code is to encourage a scholarly demeanor, the students at an AFE are expected to dress “Smart Casual” or “Business Casual.” It is important for students to maintain modesty in their dress and appearance. NOTE: There will not be any calling others out for the way they dress, if there is a need, school leaders will talk to parents about helping adjust how their children present themselves.

As a parent or adult student at AFE you have the option to participate with traditional Tuition Investments or as an Invested Member of AFE.
