Robinson Curriculum

At its core, the Robinson Curriculum is a self paced home school curriculum which is nearly entirely self taught.

Using this curriculum, we give parents the opportunity to set goals for and with their student if they desire. The students are required to make personal quarterly goals with the input of the Robinson administrator.

The classroom is supervised throughout the day by a Robinson administrator to ensure students are working on their math, writing, and reading.

We currently use the Robinson Curriculum philosophy of teaching with 40% of our students. The curriculum is made up of Saxon math, a writing course by Fred Lybrand, and a variety of the best literature of the past 500 years.

The Robinson Curriculum can be implemented as early as third grade because of the heavy use of reading and comprehension.

“My 3 kids love their teachers. The staff and faculty at Far North love the students and love to teach and it truly shows through. My kids can’t wait to go back to school in the Fall.”
