Lesser Road Academy

from Robert Frost's poem, The Road Not Taken (http://www.davidpbrown.co.uk/poetry/robert-frost.html).

[Valerie in Chicago]

It's a playful jab at the exclusive private schools in St. Louis, where I grew up. Also, the MIL is severely disappointed that we are not sending the DC to Hoity Toity Elementary in Chicago, where 1st grade is something like $16 g's a year. (she would pay, so she could tell all of her friends her grandkids go to Hoity Toity, plus we would be beholden to her... long story...) So our approach with her was, "Look, the B..... Country Day Academy is even more exclusive -- only two kids in the whole world can get in!"

Knights of the Dinner Table

It's a good thing I live in a state that doesn't require a name.

Our is The Dewey Hafta Academy for Unfairly Mistreated Children.

(Dd15 originally named it Unlimited Achievements Academy, but the new one fits better.)

[Sharon in SC]

EDEN Academy - Education and Discipleship through Encouragement and Nurturing (acronym)

[HomeOnTheRanch]

Tree River Academy
from Psalm 1

[momofkhm]

From the hymn Solid Rock:

"For in the dark and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil"

[strider]

I am starting to feel like ALL homeschoolers use "academy" LOL so now I am wondering about changing our official name to:

Prairie Cottage School

What do you think?

Dh is not likely to go for it since we live in a Victorian, not a cottage. I like "cottage school" because it's so Charlotte Mason-ish. :)

Dh will probably say, "If it ain't broke don't fix it" and want to leave the name as Prairie Academy. And to be fair, I am probably obsessing waaaay too much over something that doesn't affect anything.:chillpill:

But still--what do you think???

Percival Blakeney Academy, named after the baronet otherwise known as the Scarlet Pimpernel. Actually, when the kids were little, I used that name to do a "correspondence course" unit study with them. They were little enough not to notice the lack of stamps on the envelope. They were pretty thrilled to learn that that was really their school.

[JFS in IL]

if anyone asks, we alternate between Perry St School (since we live, duh, on Perry St.), or "Our Last Name" School. I can never remember in time to use the St. Brutus School for Criminally Insane Boys or wherever it was the Dursley's claimed to send Harry.

[Quiver0f10]

We don't need a name as a state requirement, but I am trying to order a diploma for my 18 yo and want to personalize it.

[Elisabeth in IL]

My husband named our school - Epignosis Academy.

[Dayle in Guatemala]

Four Winds Academy

[MelaniePA]

Ours is College Street Academy. It is our street name. We don't need one for state requirements but the kids wanted one. They'll probably change it eventually.

:iagree:I think I agree with you, maybe we will change our's too!

We go by TigerBear Academy

[Tina in WA]

Jetihoja Academy

To learn how we came up with our name, click HERE (http://jetihoja.blogspot.com/2007/07/jetihoja-academy.html) . In this post, there is a link to another post with information on how to choose a homeschool name. This information really helped us to finally, after 12 years of homeschooling, to choose a name. :D

Apollos Academy

For two reasons:
1. Acts 18:24-28 outlines Apollos' education in the Scriptures, and it follows a very trivium-like model, IMO
2. I liked the classical and official sound of the name

[Heidi @ Mt Hope]

Mt. Hope Academy. :)

[RebeccaC]

Crow's Nest Day School :D

[Jenny in Atl]

Ours is the Ridge School. Be are on a small ridge over looking the Chattahoochee River, so it seemed to fit. Our old name was Scorpion Cove, for all the GA brown scorpions that called our house their home. :willy_nilly:

I've read most of the names on the K-8 board and here... now I want to change our name. So many of are really creative!

[melissel]

Our is Tall Oaks Academy...where little acorns reach for the sun :D

I bet you can't guess what characterizes our property! :lol:

[Laurel T.]

We are camp road academy. We have since moved from Camp Rd. so we will have to come up with something else.

Trillium Private School

[dirty ethel rackham]

Passion for Learning School. We don't need a name in our state, but it is our original "why" homeschool - to nurture that inborn passion for learning.

[Quiver0f10]

Thank you for sharing everyone! You all are so creative!

[Sandra in NC]

In NC, you cannot change the name of your homeschool. I was advised 10 years ago to pick a generic name. At the time, we lived near West Bend Vineyards, and I thought, hmmmm, "West Bend" sounds good. We've moved since then, and I'm glad I chose a generic name that works anywhere.

[amyable]

After changing my mind several times we finally settled on Epiphany Prep School. I think I like it enough to keep it. :)

[Frontier Mom]

We feel like home education is a "New Frontier" for us and our family. We picked out some names and let dc's get the final vote since it will ultimately be on their high school transcript.

[Antonia]

I read this somewhere awhile ago and thought it was hilarious and fitting to us some days - Our Lady of Perpetual Yelling. :D

[Tia in Wa]

We are The Flatt Academy. My dc chose it last year and are currently discissing (arguing) about changing it.:D
