"The University-Model® combines the best attributes of traditional schooling with the best attributes of homeschooling and integrates them into one model. The result is quality, cost-effective, college-preparatory education that gives parents more time for imparting their own faith and values to their children. In partnership with one another, parents and the school work together toward a mutual goal: to produce wholesome, competent, and virtuous followers of Christ who will change the world in their generation." -Dr. John William Turner, Jr.
NAUMS is the National Association of University-Model® Schools and the concept originated in Texas in 1992. Today, they are still growing and spreading their unique model by offering parents an alternative to standard education.
At a University-Model® School the families and school partner together in the academic and spiritual environment by having classes 3 days a week at the Main Campus and 2 days a week at the Home/Satellite Campus. For Starboard our Main Campus days are Monday, Tuesday & Thursday while our Home/Satellite days are Wednesday & Friday. Starboard teachers and staff provide parents with the necessary support to ensure successful learning at home.
