                  Metro Church has a large number of home school families within its church body that
              believe home schooling children can be as challenging as it is rewarding. While
              true, each of us needs to stay connected to one another for encouragement and for
              information regarding the home school community. Metro’s members stay connected
              and inform one another, primarily, through an email distribution list. If you are
              interested in having your name on this list, please contact 
              <A href="mailto:homeschool@metrocc.org?subject=Homeschool Web Page Request">Leslie Albaugh</A>. Our
              members home school using various means, curriculums, private schools, dual enrollment,
              part-time enrollment and through Florida’s Virtual School. 
              <p class="bodytext">
                  In Florida, there are two ways to home school your student: 1.) Through the county,
                  or 2.) Through an “umbrella school” (private school). If you are interested in learning
                  about home schooling through the county, call the Home Education office in your
                  county for additional information. (Orange County — 407.317.3314 or Seminole County
                  — 407.320.7850) There are several “umbrellas schools” in the Orlando area.
              </p>
            <p class="bodytext">
                One of the “umbrella schools” in this area is <A href="http://www.circlechristianschool.org"
                    target="_blank">Circle Christian School</A>. Metro Church
                provides one of the many campuses for Circle Christian School on Mondays, Wednesdays
                and Thursdays. Circle Christian School provides resources and tools to parents to
                assist them in their investments of character training and academic excellence.
                If you are interested in pursuing this option, please contact Circle Christian School
                at 407-740-8877 for more information. They register students only March through
                June.</p>
