FAQs
What is Scholars?
Do we have to be Christians to join Scholars?
While neither students nor their families are required to be Christians, we ask that while enrolled in Scholars, they agree to support our Statement of Faith.
Other than academics, what else does Scholars offer?
In addition to high quality academics, Scholars endeavors to help our students and families make connections and build relationships. We do this through Coffee House, prayer meetings, parent and student workshops, field trips, social activities, service opportunities and Student Leadership Council. None of these activities are required, but they are highly encouraged to make the most of the Scholars community.
What is Coffee House?
At Scholars, building relationships is a high priority. Coffee House is a large space available for students who have a break in their schedule or to hang out before or after their classes. Scholars offers free coffee and hot cocoa and students can study or hang out with friends by enjoying ping pong, puzzles and games.
How does lunch work?
Scholars offers a 30 minute, supervised lunch period. Students must bring their own lunch, but microwaves are available for their use.
I'm new to homeschooling. How do I start?
Homeschooling in Texas offers many advantages, but it also requires the parent to take on the full responsibilty of their child's education. Scholars is not a traditional school and we do not advise which classes your child needs, but we are honored to come alongside you to provide in-person classes with experienced teachers to help you on your journey.

Schedule a Meet & Greet to visit our campus and see if Scholars is a good fit for your family.
Does Scholars issue transcripts?
A transcript is an official document that records all of the coursework and grades for a student's high school years. Because Scholars is a homeschool partner, the classes a student takes with us are only a portion of their comprehensive academic experience. Scholars provides periodic and annual grade reports for parents to include in the transcripts they compile for their students.
How do I create a transcript for my student?
Texas Homeschool Coalition has compiled everything parents need to know about creating transcripts. See the article here.
Are Scholars courses accredited?
No, Scholars courses are not accredited. We are a partner to come alongside parents to help with the home education of their children.
