The lazy, hazy days of summer are in full swing, but the start of a new schoolyear will be here before you know it. If you were registered with us as your homeschool umbrella for the 2024-25 school year, the renewal deadline is August 1. After that, the late fee is $35. 

Once you register, you will receive a letter in the mail to confirm your registration. In that letter is a QR code to sign up for the email list. Be sure to sign up so you are up to date on all things happening at Chestnut Ridge Academy. 

Here is a sneak peak:
