From enrolling to spending it

1. Before you enroll

   Call the office

   Talk with the Alaska Homeschool office about enrollment, and mention any computer you owe another program; the program offers to buy it for you.

2. At enrollment

   Register on Brightways

   Complete enrollment through the Delta/Greely Brightways portal and build your child's ILP with a contact teacher.

3. During the year

   Spend the allotment

   Use it for curriculum, supplies, tutoring, lessons, extracurricular activities, subscriptions, internet, and devices listed in the ILP.

What it pays for

Covered

• Curriculum from over 300 vendors
• Tutoring, lessons, and extracurricular activities
• Computers, tablets, printers, and e-readers
• Subscriptions such as Audible and KiwiCrate
• STEM and STEAM kits

Not covered

• Faith-based curriculum
• Politically biased curriculum
• Internet costs over $100 a month

Good to know

• Your child enrolls to get the allotment

  Alaska Homeschool is Delta/Greely School District's public homeschool program, so your child is enrolled with the district while you teach at home.

• Funds cannot pay for faith-based curriculum

  You can teach with a faith-based curriculum, but the program cannot pay for it. Your contact teacher can help you write an ILP that still qualifies for full-time funding.

• The program can buy a laptop you owe your old program

  If you owe your old program a laptop, Alaska Homeschool says it will purchase it; ask how when you enroll.
