What is LU Middle?

LU Middle is a Tutor-led a la carte program for homeschooling families, which supplements individual families' homeschools. We do not replace primary education, which is to be provided by YOU, the parent.

Who is LU Middle For?

LU Middle is for families who have homeschooled for at least one (1) full school year.
This program is a partnership between parents & tutors.
NOTE: LU Middle is not a good fit for families who simply want to turn over responsibility of overseeing their student’s progress to someone else, nor for families that simply want to check the courses off their list.

We take these courses seriously (although we can also have fun learning!) & expect the students to do the same.
Keep the classes small (5-15) to achieve personal attention.
For each teen to profit academically & socially from this learning opportunity.

Financial?

Does Level Up accept ESA+ funds?

While we would love to work with families who have ESA+ funds for their homeschooled students, due to the structure of Level Up Educational Academy Co-Op and Tutorials, after our investigation about the requirements of these funds we are not organizationally set up to accept NC or SC ESA+ funds as it would require us to restructure our whole organization in order to satisfy both states’ standards. We realize this may pose an inconvenience for some families, and we hope that you accept our sincerest apologies.
