S.A.L.T. is a ministry of Rainbow Forest Baptist Church and Home Educators of Rainbow Forest (HERF).

OUR PURPOSE

Our purpose is to find a common ground between homeschooling and traditional classroom settings, allowing our students to experience the social interaction and instruction of a Christ-centered school one to two days per week while allowing our parents to retain control of their children’s education throughout the rest of the week.  We focus on core curriculum for grades K – 12.  We also offer nursery care and pre-school for those with additional younger children if enough children are enrolled.

Since this is a co-op where homeschooling parents cooperate together to teach classes of homeschooled students, it is imperative that each family have one parent who is willing to teach two classes and assist in other classes throughout the day.

 

Currently our classes being offered include science and social studies for all ages with language arts in most grade levels.  The number and variety of subjects offered is flexible and will change as the size and needs of our co-op change. SALT meets at the Rainbow Forest Baptist Church on Mondays for two 17-week semesters.  High schoolers may meet on an additional day during the week if necessary to adequately cover the subjects offered.  Our days begin at 8:30am with Chapel Time.

 

FEES

The fee for involvement in S.A.L.T.  is currently $160 per year or $80 per semester, per family. $80 for the 1st semester will be due immediately pending acceptance following an interview and the remaining $80 will be due on orientation night.  Fees are nonrefundable.  Each family will also be responsible for purchasing all of the curriculum and supplies required for their child’s classes. If for some reason a current member family does not actively participate in S.A.L.T. the following year, they may pay a fee of $25 per year due at the end of the current school year.  The family will then have an “inactive” status. This will enable the family to hold their “place” in the co-op. However, if the inactive fee is not paid, the family’s membership will be terminated.  Terminating membership entitles that family to one and only one reapplication for membership at a future date. Also, due to the strong commitment needed of each family to run an effective co-op there is a fee of $250.00 for withdrawing during the contract year.
