• The cost to be on the team is a discounted rate of $40/month for February-May with a Supply Fee of $20.

About EARLY Robotics

Engineering And Robotics Learned Young (EARLY) is a robotics program that immerses elementary and middle school students in the engineering process. EARLY provides elementary and middle school students the opportunity to design and build robots along with participating in robotics competitions. Each season, EARLY teams are given a new mission that they complete by building a robot from LEGO Simple & Powered Machines Sets.

EARLY team members have a bright future with the opportunity to participate in various robotics competitions as they get older such as the BEST Robotics Competition. For those students that choose to participate on the EARLY team, they will be introduced to hands-on engineering and gain an appreciation for the challenges and goals that the EARLY team will face.

For more information please see the EARLY Robotics website:

GENERAL INFORMATION

Extraordinary Education will be offering several on-site dual credit classes this fall for local homeschoolers. These classes are offered through two different colleges: LeTourneau University (LetU) and Lone Star College.

• English Composition 1013 (LetU)
• Biblical Literature (LetU)
• Biology 1 for Science Majors (Lone Star)
• College Algebra (Lone Star)

SPRING 2019

• English Composition 1023 (LetU)

IMPORTANT DATES

• Tuesday, August 14: REGISTRATION DEADLINE
• Monday, August 20: Fall Classes Begin

BENEFITS
The benefits of EE dual credit classes are many!

• Very small class sizes (fewer than 10 students)
• Christian instructors
• Comfortable homeschool atmosphere
• Classmates of similar high school age
• In-person classes taught on the EE campus (not online)
• Hands-on labs (science classes)
• In-person math lessons (not a computer lab course)
• Ability to complete general academic coursework prior to attending college

There are also some special benefits of taking dual credit courses through LeTourneau University:

• College credit from an respected university (not community college)
• Courses taught from a distinctly Christian worldview
• Instructors that meet LeTourneau University's required standards
• Opportunity to qualify for a significant dual credit scholarship to LeTourneau University 
• No testing required. (A transcript showing a 3.0 is required.)

Learn More Here:
https://www.extraordinaryeducation.org/dualcreditprogram

Please be aware that EE must charge fees for our dual credit classes. We are unable to provide the same discounts that the colleges can provide directly. Many families consider the opportunity to take our in-person dual credit classes in a very small, personal class setting with other homeschooled high school students from a Christian teacher in a comfortable homeschool setting to be worth the expense. Our classes are still a bargain when compared to LeTourneau's reguar tuition rates.

Fall 2018 Registration Now Open!

Fall 2018-Spring 2019 class registration is now open! Check out our amazing new website to see what's available for your family next year!
