Home School Away From Home
For a student or students to qualify for the Florida Step Up Scholarship, do they have to be taught at home? Or can it be at a friends house or even a commercial location that HSAFH may offer?
No, you do not specifically have to teach you children in your own house to qualify. Under Florida’s Personal Education Program (PEP), the law only requires the education to be parent-directed, meaning you (the parent) are legally responsible for choosing: 1) the curriculum, 2) tracking the progress of your child and 3) managing the funds. HOWEVER, THE PHYSICAL LOCATION OF WHERE THAT LEARNING TAKES PLACE IS VERY FLEXIBLE. For more information CLICK HERE.
One of the biggest reasons you can use PEP scholarship funds to cover the cost of a “Home School Away From Home (HSAFH)” format is because we allow you to determine the online curriculum. Essentially, we primarily provide an outside location for your use. What an advantage this is for parents who both need to work or do not wish to personally teach their children. For that matter, any other reason is allowable to use our facility.
Moreover, our typical prices are so low for a “private school” type environment, we can accommodate your child’s education just by the funds that are offered by Florida’s Step Up Scholarship Program. This brings great flexibility and opportunity for all concerned, especially for the parents who can save thousands of dollars with a HSAFH education.
HSAFH can offer such a low price for “private” school type education because we feature online computer education choices, with some even offering tutor services at no charge to student or parent. This is another game changer. For more information, CLICK HERE.
ATTENTION: Home School Parents and Church Leaders
Home School Away From Home is seeking rental space in your home or church for locations to be established for this concept. Our compensation for use of your home or church building will be very generous. The beauty of this is a mutually beneficial arrangement that blesses all concerned.

Information About Florida's Step Up Scholarship Program
What is the Step Up Scholarship?
Any student who is a Florida resident and is actively involved in a home school program can now receive FREE financial help on a yearly basis. This amount averages around $7,500 yearly. However, this amount varies according to each student’s grade level, county of residence and the annual state budget set aside for this program. Nonetheless, the average amount falls generally between $6,900 and $9,500 PER STUDENT.
Incredibly, “Home School Away From Home (HSAFH)” works with the “First Step Scholarship” program and can offer a complete HSAFH education AT NO COST TO YOU. The only exception would be additional field trips offered by HSAFH, which typically costs under $50/event. However, that cost would be fully disclosed and under your control.
What this means is that if funds remain available, all Florida families will be able to have their children obtain a “private school” type of education FREE OF CHARGE! No doubt, this is a huge game changer!! If interested, contact us thru the Contact link above or give us a call at 941-866-8077.
The Florida Virtual School is free for all Florida residents and offers online education with free tutorial help when needed.
Beyond providing a physical location so students can partake in “Home School Away From Home”, what other services and benefits do you provide?
One of HSAFH’s major benefits is that parents DO NOT NEED TO BE AT HOME to “teach” their children. This is especially attractive to parents who wish to fulfill their career goals, professional ambitions or simply do not wish to teach.
Another significant benefit is HSAFH can offer a “private school” style education that is both Christian based and conservative leaning. Our goal is to provide your children with the best educational environment to excel in. In that regard, we will not tolerate bad behavior or negative influences such as leftist ideologies (political or cultural) and “woke” persuasions. We also offer in-house voluntary curriculum and guidance aids and help at no additional cost.

Christian World and Eternal View
First and foremost, our leadership team (which includes those in the classroom) believe in the God of the Holy Bible. However, the leadership team will not "force" or "preach" such viewpoints unless requested by the student (questions posed, prayer requests, etc.)

In addition to a Christian perspective, we also embrace a conservative worldview of life. Generally speaking, the Christian and Conservative viewpoints embrace each other that help to establish a supportive environment for learning, safe environment and positive atmosphere.

One of the greatest benefits an online education presents is the ability for the student to pace themselves according to their ability. This mechanism supports a "no left behind" philosophy which allows the student opportunity for full educational development.
