Many families today are looking for educational flexibility when it comes to their student’s learning for a variety of reasons. While many are interested in homeschooling their students, they can quickly become intimidated by certain subject topics, keeping their child busy, or ensuring they have the college-readiness skills to be successful in their post-secondary endeavors.
Many parents are finding the hybrid homeschool model an ideal fit for their family. One such school, Crosspointe Academy in Fort Myers, Florida, has offered this unique educational program to their community for several years. “After several years of struggling in school, we found the school that he fit in and felt comfortable at. He has flourished in all aspects of his development. The hybrid school model and small school environment is perfect for him,” reviewed Mrs. Miles, a current Crosspointe family member.
Mike McShane, education contributor to Forbes.com, believes hybrid homeschools are becoming the wave of the future. “Hybrid homeschools are particularly interesting for two reasons. First, they blur the lines around what we consider a “school.” According to one of Crosspointe middle schooler “I don’t go to school, I homeschool with my friends.” With the proliferation of new technologies and resources, it is much easier for families to get high-quality materials and instruction for their children in a wide range of subjects. It is also easier for families to network with each other and find opportunities to collaborate," McShane reported in his May 21, 2018 Forbes article.

Mrs. Coe, Founder and Crosspointe Principal has a heart to shepherd each child. “I want to meet a child where they are educationally and prepare each student for what God intends for them.”
“Future plans include partnerships with the community of southwest Florida to bring programs that will further benefit the families,” indicates Mrs. Keisha Wright, High School Administrator at Crosspointe Academy. “Programs such as fine arts through Creative Theater Workshop, vocational/technical, an online academy option, and scholarships for those who may need assistance will enhance our educational model and provide more opportunities for quality education with excellence and Godly character for all children.”
