Welcome to FAME Independent Study!
Our program offers an innovative choice to families looking for educational options outside of the traditional classroom setting. FAME Independent Study is a home-study program founded on the principles of Personalized Learning. Working together, parents, students and teachers develop and implement a learning plan for each student that centers on each child’s unique gifts, talents, and learning style. A variety of curriculum, classes, and technologies are used to optimize academic and personal achievement.
This section of our website contains detailed information about how Personalized Learning works as well as a wealth of resources for our students and their parents. If you are new to the idea of home-study and Personalized Learning, we recommend that you start with the Program Overview. Another resource is our Parent Handbook.
