Sharp Arrows is a part of the Covenant Christian Academy home school program specially designed for parents and their children ages 4-6. Sharp Arrows is designed to prepare parents of preschoolers to home school their children with CCA once they are old enough to enroll. The Sharp Arrows program offers support and resources to parents who are interested in home schooling and want to know more. The Sharp Arrows program is directed by experienced home school mothers who have a desire to help other families home school their children. The directors plan field trips, set up speakers and activities for the parents, and orient new families to the program.

Goals:

Provide group meetings where home schooling parents can find support and information.
Provide learning and fun activites for children.
Help parents to be well prepared for formal schooling.
Provide helpful ideas for readiness activities.
Provide opportunity to view and discuss Preschool, Kindergarten and First Grade curriculum.

The program begins in the month of August with a mother's brunch. Topics for parent meetings include some of the following: Math games for preschoolers; Teaching art of music to young children; Learning to use the library; Recognizing special needs or learning disabilities in young children; Panel discussion with veteran homeschool parents.

A variety of field trips and special activites are also offered during the school year. Some past activites include the Nashville Zoo, the Huntsville Internaltional Airport, the Weather office, Krispy Kreme Donuts, Tate Farms, The Botanical Gardens, Sci-Quest, Christmas partyies, Book-It book report days, play days, etc.
