EDUCATION
The Education Program exists to support the purpose of FISH by providing academic programs and opportunities for Christian homeschool families to promote the educational development of their students as a means of helping them grow more fully into the image of Christ and fulfill His purpose for their lives.
Programs
PATH Co-Op
Parental Association for Teaching Homeschoolers (PATH) is a parent-led Co-Op serving Nursery through High School. We meet weekly in Riverview. We have two 12 weeks semesters, one in the Fall and one in the Spring. The cost per student is $15 per semester with a drop-off option for High School Only ($40 per semester). Parents are required to stay on campus and teach/assist on a rotational basis. Class topics are chosen by current PATH members and are chosen based on what members would like to teach/learn. We offer two visitor days per semester for those interested in joining PATH.
FIELD TRIPS
Field Trips are offered every other month.(September, November, January and March). Field Trips are geared toward the entire family so that they can learn and explore together. We offer some free field trips and some that have fees. Some previous trips include Dakin Dairy Farms, Raymond James Stadium Tour, Bonnet Springs Park and the Tampa Theatre. Be sure to check the calendar to see what is being offered this year.
YEARBOOK
Our yearbook committee is made up of parent and teenage volunteers. They work tirelessly to capture our FISH memories and combine them in an amazing yearbook. Families are encouraged to join us for picture days to be included in the yearbook.
GRADUATION
Our Christian high school senior graduation is a beautiful celebration that honors both academic achievement and faith. The ceremony features a student senior speaker, an inspiring keynote address, uplifting music from our praise band, and a personalized slideshow for each graduate. Parents have the honor of presenting their student with a FISH graduation certificate. Families and friends are invited to join in the joy of the occasion, followed by a meaningful reception. In addition, we are honored to present two scholarships to deserving graduates each year.
