Umbrella Services
Kindergarten - 12th Grade Umbrella Program
​
We are proud to serve as an umbrella school for families who wish to homeschool full-time. River's Edge Christian Home Education Program (RECHEP) will maintain your child's cumulative school records, keep track of your grades, and submit attendance to the state of TN so that there is no chance of being marked truant.
​
For high school students, we can also help you formulate a plan to keep students on track for graduation, as well as sign off on official forms needed for driver's licenses, transcripts, and more. RECHEP high school students have the opportunity to participate in graduation, testing (9th and10th grades), and academic advising. Please refer to the chart below for specifics.
As an Umbrella Parent, you are required to:
-
Plan and submit a Course of Study Form to the RECA office
-
Teach, test, and grade your child’s school work
-
Report grades and attendance at the end of each school year via myRECA
Refund Policy: Application and Optional Services Fees are non-refundable upon the time of submission unless RECA denies acceptance to the family. If a family chooses to switch their student from an academy student to an RECHEP student or vice versa, then an additional registration fee will be incurred by the parent. No previously paid amounts may be transferred or credited towards these fees.
​
*Advising Appointment- One advising appointment is included each school year. Appointments may be scheduled using the appointment calendar on the myRECA resource board. We recommend that rising 9th graders and juniors (in spring semester) schedule an advising meeting with our academic advisor to ensure that they have all of the credits that they need for graduation.
**Graduation Fee- $150. Other costs may be associated with graduation such as purchasing invitations, graduation cap, gown, and tassel.
***Testing Fee- $55 ($75 January 15-March 15th for the current school year.) Testing is strongly recommended for grades 2-10 to help the parent know how to adjust lessons or curriculum but it does not have to be taken at River’s Edge. (Refer to Policy Manual, Section 14 for requirements for testing.)
