Homeschool Umbrella

Chestnut Ridge Academy is recognized as a Category IV school that operates under Tennessee law (TCA 49-50-801). An integral part of the school is the Homeschool Umbrella Program. Parents register with Chestnut Ridge and have the freedom to choose what curriculum and methods they will use to educate their children at home.

Chestnut Ridge Academy will provide accountability and support to families as they educate their children at home.

Stepping Stones

Stepping Stones is a ministry of CRA. Throughout the year, we provide activities to help those with preschoolers-3rd grade. Each month we will have a field trip, a playdate, and a meeting covering homeschooling topics or Moms’ Night Out. A few times a year, we will take longer field trips called Far Away Fridays—which will be about 1 ½ hours away from Fayetteville.

​Families considering homeschooling, or just starting out, will benefit from the Stepping Stones program. Adults will be able to share with those who are just beginning to homeschool as well as get advice from experienced homeschool moms. Children will have the opportunity to socialize and participate in activities with others their age.

Co-op Classes

Co-op classes are all volunteer. Classes vary from year to year depending on what our parent volunteers wish to teach. PreK through 8th grade meets every other week while high school students meet every week.  Class schedules for the next year come out in May or June.
