Independent Study
Course Work
For Independent Study (IS), the educational plan is primarily designed by the parents. However, within the IS program, a Classical Christian curriculum is required for students earning a TC diploma.
The primary teaching parent has the responsibility of implementing the lessons, learning objectives and assessments through projects, field trips, labs, worksheets, quizzes, tests, writing assignments and observations. The parent compiles the curriculum that the student will use for each discipline with the help and guidance of the Independent Study Coordinator. The course work may be collected from a wide variety of resources; TC in-house classes, purchased curriculum in print or online, homeschool co-op classes, College Credit Plus for electives, private lessons, and any resources available from the IS department.

Does Toledo Christian keep track of my student's high school transcript?

Can my high school student participate in College Credit Plus?
Yes, Independent Study students can participate in CCP courses. College Credit Plus is a program where 7th-12th grade students can attend college classes, on campus or online. The credits they earn give them both high school and college credit. It is a program funded by the State of Ohio, and there is no cost to the students. The cost of books are included for students attending CCP at Owens Community College and the University of Toledo. Parents must attend a mandatory yearly CCP meeting for their student to be eligible and apply for credits with the Ohio Department of Education.
Can my child play sports at Toledo Christian?
A junior high or high student may play sports as an Independent Student if they are enrolled in one academic class on campus per OHSAA rules. This can be any academic class of their choice that meets once a day for a full year and is worth one credit.
