Brief overview of how My Tech High works\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n(for elementary aged students)<\/span><\/p>\nWhen you sign up to participate in My Tech High (MTH), you commit to provide\/coordinate 38 weeks of instruction for your child in each of his\/her courses. You also commit to have them take standardized tests, unless you opt out, which is easy to do.<\/span><\/p>\nMy Tech High requires the following courses:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Language Arts<\/span><\/li>\n
- Math<\/span><\/li>\n
- Science OR Social Studies<\/span><\/li>\n
- Technology OR Entrepreneurship<\/span><\/li>\n
- Elective (art, music, PE, or foreign language)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
There is also a homeroom course, but it doesn\u2019t really count because you don\u2019t get money for it and you don\u2019t have to report on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThere are three options for your courses:<\/span><\/p>\nOption 1:<\/span> You can choose to take one of MTH\u2019s online classes. There are a lot of options and I have never had a child take one, but some people like them. If you choose this option, you don\u2019t get any additional $$$ from MTH.<\/span><\/p>\nOption 2<\/span>: If you want to create your own curriculum, MTH will reimburse you up to $225 per class. So you can buy $225 of language art materials, $225 of math supplies, etc. New for 2020-2021, you can combine all of the funds from your language arts course, math course, science\/social studies course, and your elective. That means you can have up to $900 dollars ($225×4 courses) that you can spend on anything related to any of those courses. So you could spend $600 on one math program if you wanted to. (Note: MTH will note reimburse anything with religious content–so The Good and the Beautiful, for example.)<\/span><\/p>\nOption 3:<\/span> If your child participates in a group class (2 or more children) that is publicly advertised and is approved by MTH, then you can be reimbursed up to $300 per class. For example, if your child is in a group music class, you could select music as your elective and then get reimbursed for up to $300 in tuition for that class for the year.<\/span><\/p>\nOn top of all the money for each class, each MTH student will get $500 of additional money reimbursed. It\u2019s called a \u201ctechnology allowance,\u201d but it can be used for anything school-related and approved by MTH.<\/span><\/p>\nIf you have more questions, see the <\/span>My Tech High website<\/span><\/a> or email admin@mytechhigh.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(updated 8\/26\/20) There are a number of programs in the state of Utah that partner homeschool families with public schools in order to get public education dollars into the hands of homeschool families.
