Okay, I'm at it again. I think we may use Aletheia Family Academy. My husband said he likes that one best.

I think you're probably right. From what I understand, many colleges actually seek out homeschoolers, so there's no need to try and hide the fact and present ourselves at a private school. We've always been very open and proud of the fact that we are homeschoolers, and I've never been worried about people asking questions, either. I'm sure that's because of my own background. Since I'm a second generation homeschooler, people tend to not question my decision.

I would hope all homeschoolers would steer clear of giving that impression. We don't wanna make homeschooling seem weird to people who already think it's weird, lol.
Wow, that's just weird!

I finally told my kids that I changed the name of our school from Lastname Homeschool to the XXX R. XXXXX Memorial Academy after my brother. DD2 (who is most emotional about this and probably misses him the most) thought it was great. I emailed my SIL about it tonight too.

I'm several years from potentially starting homeschooling, but my first thought was "Huh, would I get in trouble if I called it "Starfleet Academy"?"
I'm such a geek.
Our poor daughter.
Hee!

Starfleet Academy!! I love that. I am pretty sure my DH would veto it though. oh well.
I was leaning toward Cygnet Academy... all the ugly duckling stuff plus: we live on Swan St. So the letterhead would be kind of cool. but I think there are a lot of Cygnets out there... so I am not sure. And I am hoping to move in a few years.
I could use Ivy in there somewhere for my maiden name. (plus might make people think Ivy league?!)
Asked DS, he says I can do whatever I want... he thinks it is dumb.
(but he did choose Vikings for a mascot.)

I didn't think about naming our homeschool til I bought Edu-Track and to register they ask for a school name, so in a pinch I came up with - (our Surname) Schoolhouse. The surname made it personal and Schoolhouse brought us back to a time when schools welcomed Christianity, conservatism, wholesome morals, and excellence in academics. I thought of Academy, but it seemed too secular/generic with just our surname. I wanted something that highlighted, well, an old fashioned schoolhouse and all the good that came with it.

We named our homeschool Prairie Academy--our location. We named it because we've always thought that naming someone or something had very special significance in the Scriptures. An example would be when Adam named the animals or when God changed Abrams name to Abraham. We took naming our children very seriously too giving them names that reflected character qualities we wanted them to have and tying all their names to together as brothers and sisters. I guess names are special to us :)

No, but if I did it would be something like:
Kohlina Center for Academic Excellence or KCAE (pronounced 'Kay)
or, I'd let my son pick something....in which case it would be something along the lines of "Hiker School" or "School for Navy Spy Kids"

Our states says to name the school. I thought it was silly, but did it anyway. I am glad that we did.Our name is meaningful. Although we are nearly finished homeschooling after 14 years, I think the name will always be remembered. It is:
Isaiah 54:13 Christian Homeschool
"All your children shall be taught by the LORD and great will be the peace of your children"
