LATEST N.A.P.H.S. NEWS
The Board has approved a performance level system that will allow schools to view a snapshot of how they compare to the national standards implemented within the organization.  The levels are broken down into 4 achievement categories.  Each quality achievement level will make certain services available to the awarded member school at no additional cost to the school.  More information will be available about this special program soon.
 
 
 
Home school parents will now be classified as temporary school administrators while operating home schools.  NAPHS will function as the administrative support agency to these groups on the same level as a typical private school.  Home school families will be required to meet the same standards of operation as a regular private school to ensure uniformity and acceptance with the local education agencies and or state education agencies.  There will not be an increase in homeschool annual membership fees for this extension of service.
