During the spring and fall semesters, homeschooled students from local communities participate in the Step-Up Enrichment Program. The one-hour enrichment courses are held in various locations on the campus of Saint Vincent College every Friday afternoon. These courses are designed and taught by college students who are enrolled in the teacher certification program. Classes are offered from Preschool to Grade Twelve.
The goals of the Step-Up Program are to:
Online registration on the STEP-UP website is available for parents to register their children for up to three classes each semester. Just follow the registration link. Class sizes are limited, so homeschooled students are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
STEP-UP believes it is a great privilege and opportunity for students to participate in this program. Therefore, behavior that is disruptive to the classroom setting will not be tolerated. If problematic behavior persists, the student(s) will be asked to leave the program.
While no formal dress code exists, we expect students to dress modestly so as to not distract from the educational environment.
You will receive an email notice if you have submitted your contact information to the Director. Also, we will post a notice when registration begins.
Fall classes start in September and Spring classes start in January. As soon as an exact date is determined, registration will be open for about six days prior to the start of classes. You will be notified via email.
Yes. We have many cyber students in our program.
Below are the steps to participate in the Step-Up Enrichment Program:
Parents may escort children directly to the first class. If there is a question or concern about the location of class, please stop by the STEP-UP information table in the lobby of Alfred Hall. This entrance is located to the left of the Basilica. Walk up the OLD entrance to the College (cement driveway leading to campus with two concrete pillars and black rod iron gates, left of the Basilica) and Alfred Hall is the building on the left. There is an overpass hallway above the entrance to Alfred. There will be someone at the information table to help you.
