Learner Background

Does this learner currently attend a school program? If yes, please enter the name of the school below and share why you're looking to change schools.

Does your child enjoy going to school? Please explain.

How would you describe your child's current learning hurdles, if any, and what strategies have worked in the past in helping them overcome these hurdles?

Describe your child's personality and interests.

Family background

What do you believe are the top 3 reasons that Creator's House would be a great fit for your child?

Based on what you read in the Parent Contract and the Parents on a Hero's Journey document, how would you expect the school to handle the following situations:

Your learner had a big conflict with a peer during Brain Break today and came home and told you about it. You believe your child may have been bullied and you would like to discuss it with the other adults without the children present.

You're not seeing much progress in math with your child and are concerned that they are falling behind. You bring it up to your child and they share that they have been focusing on other subjects during core skills and haven't done math for a few weeks.

We believe family is at the center of learning for children. Please describe a habit or routine that you follow at home to support your child’s learning journey.

How would you describe the perfect teacher for your child, and how would you measure whether he or she is advancing quickly enough?

Tell us about each of your child’s previous learning environments. If we ask your child’s current teachers about them, what words will they use to praise them as learners? What behaviors or attitudes will they say need more work?

Please describe any learning disabilities, allergies or sensitivities your child has previously experienced.

Do you believe your child is a genius who deserves to find a calling that changes the world? How will you continue to pursue your child's learning adventures if there are no immediate openings at Creator's House?

Have you carefully read the Parent Contract and its communication protocols, and are you willing to fully commit to a Hero’s Journey as a parent and trusting your child, despite any concerns you may have?

Has at least one parent read the book Courage To Grow by Laura Sandefer?
