Take the free tour, then write us if anything is still unclear. Payment after that tour is final.
nfo.homefamilyacademy@outlook.comWhat is Homemaker Family Academy?+
A complete 36-week Christian course in homemaking, household management, character, hospitality, stewardship, and womanhood for girls and young women ages 10–18. Claire teaches Junior Academy, Meg teaches Intermediate, and Adelaide teaches Senior. Mrs. Hale is headmistress. Homemaking is taught as household leadership — planning, cooking, budgeting, hospitality, and family stewardship — not merely cleaning for someone else.
Who is it for?+
Junior Academy is ages 10–12, Intermediate Academy is ages 13–15, and Senior Academy is ages 16–18. Parents enroll a daughter. Churches and private schools may enroll many students under one organizational membership.
Can I look around before I pay?+
Yes. The free hallway tour is the only unpaid access. Mrs. Hale opens the foyer doors and walks you down the main hall. You may look into the real classrooms — Junior, Intermediate, and Senior — and the church dashboard, so you can see what membership opens. You may not sit for a lesson, tap Begin, take a quiz, or enroll a student until you pay.
What does the Individual Parent Package include?+
$400 one time. You receive the entire 36-week course for one age group — every classroom, workbook page, recipe, game, and home-practice card in that academy — with lifetime access for that purchased age group.
What does Organizational Membership include?+
$10,000 one-time upfront fee. Churches and private schools receive every classroom and all three age groups, plus an admin dashboard to enroll parishioners or students and track progress. Homeschool co-ops that are not a church or private school, and individual families, use the parent package.
Is there a monthly subscription?+
No. Both packages are one-time payments. There is no monthly drip and no automatic renewal on this membership.
Can we share a membership with another family or another church?+
No. Like a locked streaming household, a parent package belongs to one home (up to 4 devices) and an organizational membership belongs to one church or private school (up to 1,000 devices). Extra devices beyond that limit are blocked. Another family needs its own $400 package. Another church or school needs its own $10,000 membership. Student emails cannot be enrolled at two organizations.
Are there refunds?+
No. The free tour is offered so you can see the classrooms, a sample lesson, the age-group courses, and the church and school tools before you pay. Once you pay for membership or classes, the sale is final. There are no refunds, exchanges, or credits.
How do exams and the diploma work?+
Every lesson has an official multiple-choice exam from what Claire, Meg, or Adelaide taught that week, and the Grocery Budget Challenge is an exam too. Each test grades itself. A student must score at least 85% for the exam to count. Passed scores write themselves onto the official transcript. At the end of the year, a parent orders that transcript signed by Mrs. Hale in order to receive the diploma.
How do I reach the academy?+
Write nfo.homefamilyacademy@outlook.com. That is the academy inbox for membership questions, church and school enrollment, and family guidance. We do not offer refunds after payment, but we do answer questions about how to use the course.
Can the school office send email from the academy inbox?+
Yes. Administrators open Academy mailroom, connect nfo.homefamilyacademy@outlook.com with the Outlook password or an app password, then send tailored letters to the roster — welcome notes, week-open reminders, exam notices, and diploma packets. Each letter fills the student's name and hall.
I own this school. How do I preview paid classes?+
Open School office (/owner). Sign in with the administrator email and password. That login unlocks every classroom, all three academies, and the admin dashboard with no payment so you can review the course before families buy.
