To: Revival High School
From: Maricela Lemos (former RCA mom and math tutor extraordinaire!)
As parents make school plans for the fall, I thought of Revival homeschoolers and wanted to share a link to Equip210’s High School Virtual classes.
Equip210 is a new program led by Lesley Russell. She ended that program and started Equip210, 2024/2025 was its first official year. I’ve taught three math classes through them this 2024/2025 school year; the classes were small since it was just starting. My students were from Southern California, Ohio and Texas. More Equip210 satellite programs are opening up in New York and possibly Tennessee and Idaho, Lord willing.
The Equip210 virtual high school classes are synchronous (live, online) and meet twice a week for 1 hour 20 minutes per session. For the amount of teaching time offered each week, the fees are very reasonable. For example, my math classes cost $1100 per student for the school year, which works out to $14.40 per teaching hour. In addition there’s a $75 registration fee and my students require a $150 material fee for a Thinkwell.com math subscription.
The class sizes are small, I’m hoping for a minimum of 6 and maximum of 10 students per class. Even though my classes this year were tiny, I feel called to teach through Equip210 because of their Kingdom calling emphasis for every student. This is rare, and godly discipleship is much needed for our young people.
This fall, if minimum enrollment is reached, I’m signed up to teach Pre Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. Other teachers will lead pre-calculus, Calculus, and Biology classes. My favorite local science teacher, Lindsay Estrada, will be teaching Physical Science and Chemistry. A renowned English teacher, Dr. Cindy Felso, is offering a great lineup of English courses, and I’ve heard excellent feedback about the History teacher as well. An Economics class is in the Fall lineup as well.
Each of us teachers feels called to invest in students, giving them ‘wind in their sails’ as we lead them to discover the reflection of a Holy and Loving God in their studies and to become excellent students as they find out their individual Kingdom calling.
In summary, Equip210 virtual high school classes offer
- Quality live online high school classes meeting biweekly (Mondays & Wednesdays) for 16 weeks per semester
- Emphasis on incorporating the Gospel and sharing the God-given value and calling for each student
- Very reasonably priced (fees are less than the Biola Star program, back in 2009!)
- Individual classes are offered a la carte
Finding quality and affordable high school class options can be challenging, If parents are open to live online instruction this could be a way to fill in any ‘gaps’ they may have in their child’s fall plans.
In addition to the Equip 210 classes, I will continue to offer Private one-on-one and group Math instruction via my Creating Confidence Math sessions. I have a complete list of students planning to stay with me in the fall. May the Lord lead.
