We offer two distinct academic models tailored to meet the diverse needs of our learners! Both programs emphasize a quality-over-quantity approach, delivering meaningful and engaging lessons and assignments that spark curiosity, nurture a passion for learning, and support individual challenge points. Beyond academics, we cultivate confidence, community, and a strong sense of belonging, with dedicated teachers who recognize and celebrate each student’s unique strengths. With small class sizes, passionate educators, and a vibrant learning community, students thrive in an environment that fosters both personal and academic success.
Our Aspire Track is designed for academically-driven and/or college-bound students seeking a challenging yet balanced educational experience. This program offers rigorous coursework while emphasizing a quality-over-quantity approach, ensuring deep, meaningful learning without unnecessary overload.Our ideal students are motivated, organized, and strive to do their best. Students come to class ready to learn and are active participants in their own education. We are happy to provide accommodations or modifications for students with mild learning challenges provided they can keep pace with standard and/or accelerated coursework. Our teachers foster curiosity, critical thinking, and intellectual growth through discussions, presentations, purposeful assignments, group collaboration, and project-based learning opportunities. Small class sizes of up to 12 students allow for meaningful discussions and strong teacher-student connections. Students in this track can graduate with a homeschool, standard, or USG-ready accredited transcript. With passionate educators, dynamic learning experiences, and a vibrant academic environment, students are empowered ACHIEVE their goals!
Our Supportive Education model is designed for students with unique learning profiles who thrive in a small and individualized setting where pacing and expectations can be modified to meet their needs. We specialize in anxiety, dyslexia and dysgraphia, but can also accommodate students will dyscalculia, slow processing, working memory difficulties, executive functioning, ADHD (inattentive type), and other non-behavioral learning challenges. With small learning cohorts of 4 - 6 learners, students benefit from a personalized approach that offers both standard and fundamental courses tailored to their strengths, needs, and individual pace of learning. Multisensory, hands-on experiences, individualized coursework, modified pacing, and targeted accommodations ensure that each student can thrive. Students can enjoy a slower pace while working towards a standard high school diploma and/or TCSG-ready transcript, empowering them to ACHIEVE their goals in a supportive and nurturing environment that meets them where they are.
Community & Learning Climate
Student Body
Our students are kind, cooperative, and respectful. They are eager learners who challenges themselves to achieve their personal goals, while encouraging others to do the same. We accept neurotypical students and students with specific learning challenges such as dyscalculia, dyslexia, and dysgraphia. Our small environment makes us a great choice for students with mild to moderate anxiety. Our expectation is that students are willing and active participants who are excited to learn. Students are expected to come to class prepared and ready to do their best.  We are not equipped to enroll students with disruptive, aggressive, and/or non-compliant tendencies.
Unique Learning Profiles
We welcome homeschoolers, neurotypical students, gifted learners, and students with mild learning challenges, with a specialization in supporting those with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. Our approach allows us to balance expectations within each course by tailoring instruction to meet diverse learning profiles and aligning them with the student’s chosen diploma track. Our Academic Bridge Program allows us to further support students with learning challenges through added remediation and/or alternate course options. This ensures every student receives the support and challenge they need to succeed and thrive.
Adaptive Curriculum
Our adaptive course offerings are designed to meet the diverse needs of advanced learners and students with unique learning profiles by providing tailored pathways to success. Specific course offerings, such as honors-level classes, foundational skill-building courses, and our Academic Bridge Program, ensure that every student can excel while remaining engaged and supported. For advanced learners, we offer accelerated placement options, enriched coursework, and opportunities for deeper exploration through projects and specialized topics. For students with unique learning profiles or specific learning disabilities, we adapt expectations, pacing, and instructional methods to align with their individual strengths and areas for growth. Through differentiated instruction, small-group settings, and personalized support, we create a flexible and inclusive learning environment.
Learning Climate
We offer a friendly and welcoming learning environment with a low teacher to student ratio of 1:10 in accelerated classes, 1:6 in supportive classes, and 1:4 in our Academic Bridge Programs. Our students enjoy a small, calm, compassionate, stress-reduced learning environment with a community of peers who respect and encourage each other. We understand that a supportive, community-oriented environment better serves overall academic development and mental health than a traditional setting for many students.
Teachers
Above all, our teachers create a supportive environment where students are treated with respect, encouraged to build confidence, and empowered to form positive relationships. Passionate and highly skilled, our educators are dedicated to each student's academic growth and personal success. They bring a wealth of expertise to the classroom, ensuring every lesson is engaging and impactful. Every core subject teacher holds at least a bachelor's degree in education, with many earning advanced degrees and Georgia certification. Our diverse team of educators brings specialized knowledge and experience, forming a well-rounded, highly qualified faculty committed to addressing the unique needs of every student.
Instructional Approach
Our 'round-table' approach places students at the heart of their education, fostering thoughtful discussions, independent thinking, and a confident, collaborative learning environment. With a highly interactive instructional model, students actively engage in their learning journey through discussions, shared reading, collaborative projects, and hands-on activities. This dynamic approach ensures learning is both meaningful and memorable. Our teachers blend direct instruction with a variety of resources—including multimedia tools, textbooks, workbooks, and practical applications—designed to help students master concepts deeply and effectively. We prioritize quality over quantity, believing that students thrive when they feel engaged, supported, and inspired to learn.

All students graduating from Weatherstone Academy will receive a certificate of graduation and record of courses (transcript).

Our Georgia Homeschool Track is our most flexible option.

Home study for this track averages 2 - 3 hours, twice per week. Students have the option to complete home study at home during asynchronous days OR during our guided productivity days to complete assignments under the guidance of a teacher. Students can select a GRADED OR UNGRADED option for their progress reports.
Our standard Georgia diploma track follows the state’s Required High School Curriculum (RHSC), as established by the Georgia Department of Education. Students must complete a total of 23 credits across specific subject areas, which include both required core credits and specific elective courses. Home study for this track averages 3 - 4 hours, twice per week. Students have the option to complete assignments at home during asynchronous days OR join our guided productivity days to complete assignments under the guidance of a teacher. Students can select a GRADED OR UNGRADED option for their progress reports, however grades are required for college entry.
The USG Ready diploma option is designed to prepare students for success in the University System of Georgia and beyond. With small class sizes, personalized instruction, and a focus on college and career readiness, students benefit from dual enrollment opportunities, project-based learning, and flexible, competency-based pathways. We provide tailored support, including remediation, internships, and college application guidance, ensuring every student thrives in a dynamic, inclusive environment. An accredited diploma option is available. Home study for this track averages 4 - 6 hours, twice per week.

Accredited Transcript
We are pleased to offer an accredited transcript and diploma option through our preferred transcript provider! An accredited transcript requires students complete a specific number of credits in defined subject areas. Students who participate in the accredited transcript option will be required to assemble a portfolio of required coursework, documenting the work and progress through the year. Coursework applied to the accredited transcript must be graded each grade is built into the student's GPA. Since we use a transcript provider, additional credits may be taken outside of our program and applied to the student's transcript with appropriate documentation.
​
Does my child need an accredited transcript?
It is important to realize that an accredited transcript is not necessary in most cases, however, it does offer some benefits including immediate access to the HOPE scholarship upon graduation, access to international universities that do not recognize homeschool transcripts, validation for credit transfers to other institutions, possible scholarship opportunities, and to validate the efforts of your student. An accredited transcript is a great option for students wanting to go straight to college and/or those who wish to study abroad.
Homeschool Transcript
Homeschool diplomas and transcripts are legal documents. Homeschool diplomas are recognized by most colleges and universities, trades, the military, etc. Homeschoolers are eligible for dual enrollment funding as well as accessing HOPE/Zell scholarships, though there are some stipulations.
The state of Georgia mandates that students "receive instruction in the core subjects of math, ELA, science, and social studies," however, it does not impose regulations regarding credits, courses, or criteria for graduation. That being said, students wishing to advance to post-high school educational institutions should consider following, at minimum, the state's graduation requirements and verifying admissions requirements as this will help streamline entry into advanced programs.
​
Does my child have to complete the standard credit requirements to graduate?
A homeschool diploma is the most flexible option for students desiring a modified or curated educational experience. Students in our Academic Bridge Program will receive instruction that meets them where they are academically, offering support, accommodations, and/or alternative courses that support their needs and cater to their strengths. For instance, students struggling with standard math courses will be offered a curated 4-year math track.
​
Courses & Elective Offerings
We strive to offer all core courses and necessary electives to satisfy the Georgia Department of Education's middle and high school graduation requirements to ensure students in all tracks received the necessary coursework needed to meet their goals. Students attending our hybrid program will receive instruction in the core courses, along with a selection of specific elective courses that cover Georgia's "additional requirements," including languages, fine arts, career development, health, and personal fitness. Students attending the Friday Electives option will have the opportunity to accrue additional elective credits which they can put toward their transcript. For students opting for the accredited transcript, additional credits may be taken outside of our program and applied to their transcript with appropriate documentation.
​
As a small program, we are only able to offer a select number of courses per year. With the exception of math, most of our courses are offered on a 2-year cycle and can be taken in the order they are presented. For instance, students may take History 2 before History 1. Since content in each of our disciplinary courses is unique, the order in which a course is taken inconsequential. Electives selections will vary each year. ​​

UNDERSTANDING GA LAW
Georgia law requires that all homeschooling families submit an annual Declaration of Intent to Homeschool. Parents must provide their learner with instruction in four core subjects of ELA, math, science, and social studies. Students must receive 4.5 hours of learning opportunities for 180 days per year. There are no mandated instructional hours or standards in any given subject, nor are there any mandatory graduation requirements for homeschoolers aside from being 16 years old. Students must take a standardized test every three years (starting in 3rd grade) and families must write an annual progress summary. While the law provides a lot of liberties to homeschoolers, most families seeking our services generally want their child to receive quality, standards-aligned instruction in the core subjects in a relaxed, hands-on, creative setting that embraces the experience of family and childhood, while fostering independence, creativity, critical thinking, friendships, a sense of community, and self-confidence.
​
It is important to note that only the 5-day track meets the instructional hours requirement, meaning families must continue the learning process at home. Home learning can include our supplied home study curriculum (C4 program only), enrichment classes, or any other learning activities such as field trips, sports, cooking, reading, music lessons, language classes, reading activities, science experiments, etc. Both the Core 4 and Deep Learning programs offer instruction in the mandated subjects. The Core 4 program aligns to Georgia Standards for Excellence, while the Deep Learning programs support the standards in a more broad-scope fashion.
Students enrolled in our Core 4 program will receive 2 days of home study, mid-year conferences,
and an annual progress summary. We do not currently offer standardized testing.
