Kentucky Homeschool

Kentucky homeschool families trust LightStars Academy as an educational partner. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with homeschooling, and our platform is designed to enhance your educational plans with flexible, affordable, and standards-aligned courses.

Kentucky makes the following requirements on homeschool families:

• • Parents must file an annual letter of intent with the local school district.
  • Instruction must be in English and include reading, writing, math, history, and science.
  • Maintain attendance records and samples of student work.
  • Provide 175 instructional days per year.

How LightStars Helps: LightStars Academy’s flexible, self-paced courses help meet the 175-day requirement and cover all core subjects. Progress reports and transcripts can serve as documentation for student records.

Diverse Course Offerings for Every Learner

Homeschool families often look for ways to enrich their curriculum with advanced courses, specialized subjects, or extracurricular options. LightStars Academy provides a wide variety of courses to meet these needs. Whether your student is preparing for college with AP courses, exploring career-focused electives, or engaging in wellness classes, we have something for everyone.

Our offerings include:

• CORE Academic Courses: Algebra, Geometry, Biology, Chemistry, and more.
• AP Courses: AP English Literature, AP U.S. History, and AP Physics, among others.
• Electives: Digital Media, Financial Literacy, and Creative Writing.
• Wellness and Sports: Stress Management, Yoga, and Fitness Training.

Flexible Enrollment and Scheduling

Homeschooling thrives on flexibility, and LightStars Academy is built with that in mind. Our courses are available during fall, spring, and summer semesters, allowing families to choose the schedule that works best for them. Whether you’re looking to add a single course to your homeschool plan or enroll your student for a full academic year, our platform adapts to your needs.

Affordable Pricing

We understand that cost is a significant factor for homeschool families. That’s why we’ve designed our pricing to be both competitive and transparent. Academic courses are $399 per semester in fall and spring, and $250 in the summer. AP courses are $549 per semester and $399 in summer. Wellness and sports classes are available for just $59 per month, making it easy to add holistic education to your child’s learning experience.

Accreditation and College Preparation

While homeschooling offers unparalleled flexibility, many families seek courses that align with state standards and prepare students for college admissions. LightStars Academy provides both. Our instructors are certified teachers with expertise in their subject areas, and our courses are designed to fulfill high school diploma requirements, including college-bound math and science tracks. As we work toward full accreditation in 2025, families can rest assured that their students are receiving a high-quality education that meets rigorous academic standards.

A Supportive Online Community

Homeschooling can sometimes feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. LightStars Academy creates a supportive online community where students can connect with peers, interact with instructors, and participate in engaging discussions. This sense of connection fosters collaboration and helps students develop the social skills they need to thrive in the real world.
