Parent/Student Info
The Education Triangle
Quo Vadis Educators are here to assist home-directed education. The parent is a vital part of the education triangle, along with the student and the instructor. Classes are designed with the necessity of parental involvement. Since students attend class only 2 to 3 hours a week, much of the work needs to be done at home under parental direction. Some students are self-motivated; others need more "help."
Instructors are available by phone or email throughout the school year. Please express your questions or concerns to them as they come up.
Parent Attendance Required
One or both parents should attend the scheduled Orientation with their student(s) in the Fall. A January orientation will be held for those who did not attend any Fall classes. A semester overview, class requirements and expectations, and other important information will be given.
Dress CodeThe purpose of our dress code is to promote a neat and conservative look for the students while in attendance at QV. The following will help us achieve this look. Please look beyond the “letter of the law” to the spirit of it.
Attire and accessories should
be modest, attractive, neat, and clean.
| BOYS | |
| YES Button-down shirts, tucked in Collared polo shirts (worn out or in) Slacks, khakis, or neat fitted jeans (worn at the waist) Shoes, athletic shoes Moderate hair length, color, and style |
NO T-shirts or jerseys Sleeveless shirts or tank/muscle shirts Baggy pants, sags, or torn jeans Shorts, pajama pants, or sweat pants Sandals, slippers, or flip-flops Un-natural hair colors Body/tongue pierced jewelry or earrings Anything deemed inappropriate or distracting |
| GIRLS | |
| YES Modest blouse worn tucked in or out Knit tops or collared polo shirts (worn in or out) Slacks/pants or neat fitted jeans worn at the waist Dresses or skirts knee length or longer Shoes, athletic shoes, sandals Moderate hair color and style |
NO T-shirts or tank tops; narrow straps Short, tight, low-cut, or sheer tops Shorts, skorts, or capris Torn jeans/pants Bare midriffs; hip-hugger styles Short dresses/skirts Pajama pants or sweat pants Slippers or flip-flops Un-natural hair colors Body or tongue pierced jewelry, multiple earrings Anything deemed inappropriate or distracting |
Each student’s parents will enforce the dress code (preferably before the student arrives for class) and the instructors will monitor it as needed, but we want students to develop their own good judgment in this area. Your hours at Quo Vadis will be good rehearsal for your entrance into the adult world and an opportunity to shine for Christ.
For Summer classes:
The above applies with the exception that they can wear modest shorts such as walking shorts.
