A listing of possible CARPOOL CONNECTION OPTIONS is available now and will also be available at The Academy office desk during operating business hours when classes start in the fall.  

To assist families in making these connections, a NEW PROGRAM has been developed as of Fall 2011.  

  • Parents interested in finding carpool options should complete the Carpool Interest Form and 
    • mail it to YEAH, 5532 St. Stephen Street, St. Paul, MN 
    • drop it off at The Academy Office during business hours (M, T, W: 8:00-4:30).  
    • Email it to YEAH@mtn.org  
    • DO NOT MAIL OR DELIVER IT TO THE CHURCH.
  • All family Carpool Interest forms will be kept in a binder at The Academy office for families to review if interested in carpooling
    • Check with the Site Manager on duty in the YEAH Academy office to look at the list.  
    • For privacy reasons, this list cannot leave the YEAH office area.

  • By filling out and signing the form, 
    • families give YEAH permission to share your contact information with other YEAH members with the sole purpose of assisting in coordinating carpools.

    • Families are encouraged to observe caution and be aware of all aspects of carpooling, including who will be the driver of the carpool, if an adult will be in the car or if teen-agers will be primary drivers. 
  • Families are encouraged to be creative and think "outside of the box" regarding carpool options. e.g. a family might not be exactly in your neighborhood, but you could arrange to meet at an easily accessible, safe, common spot such as a fast food restaurant, etc.

MEMBER INFORMATION; CODES DECODED

YEAH MEMBER CODES DECODED

Who?  Each YEAH member has a member code that reflects their current and past membership level.  
Where? A code # is located on the address label of your current fuchsia catalog, after your name.  
What?  
  • "Y" = YEAH member; 
  • "YA" = Academy member for current year; 
  • "R" = Renewing member - or - "N" = New member for current year;
  • Following this is a sequence of four numbers that reflect your membership history with YEAH.  If your membership lapsed for one or more years, this # will reflect when you last rejoined YEAH. 
    • The first two numbers are the year of your original membership.
      • i.e. "00" = your continuous membership began in 2000.
      • i.e. "07" = your continuous membership began in 2007.
    • The last two numbers are the year of your most recent membership.
      • "10" at the end = memberships for last year 2010-2011.
      • "11"at the end = memberships for the upcoming or current year 2011-12. 
  • e.g. "YAR0210" = YEAH Academy Renewed member from 2002 through fall of 2010. This membership is/was at the $45.00 level. 
  • e.g. "YN1111" = YEAH New member for the year starting fall 2011.  It has not been renewed for the upcoming year. This membership is/was at the $15.00 level.
 
How does my code affect my registration for Academy classes? Priority registration is given for longevity with YEAH; older students have priority over younger students; and those who have met Academy course sequence prerequisites will also have priority within The Academy categories. 
When? Important registration data below  

  • Any codes with "11" at the end may register for Spring 2011 classes.
  • Families must be YEAH Academy members to register for The Academy classes.
  • Updated information for 2011-2012 classes will be posted here as available.
 

Why?


  
To make sure that a class is a good fit for your child and your family, we encourage families to come to the Open House, visit with the tutors and examine their curriculum; go home and talk to your spouse and child, pray about it, sleep on it and then put it in the mail. See list above for texts to be provided by the student.

  • YEAH membership fees cover expenses for services enjoyed by all: website management; sponsorship of events; workshops; college fairs; testing services; etc. services that are open to and enjoyed by all home educators.

  • YEAH membership ensures that YEAH's high quality services will continue to be available to the home school community now and into the future.

  Why should you maintain your membership in YEAH?

If you answer YES to one of the following statements, the following information is for you!

  • Our family situation has changed and we do not plan to take Academy courses this year.

  • Our family is not sure what our future plans are regarding the education of our family; we may or may not continue to home educate.

  • Our youngest is taking full time PSEO.

  • We'd like to keep our options open for graduations opportunities, but are not sure what we'll do when that time comes.

  • We plan to take Academy classes next year, but not this year.

  • We might like to attend the homeschool college fair in January.

  • We might like to go skiing with YEAH at Trollhaugen this winter.

  • We might be interested in taking some adult education workshops to help us home educate through high school and beyond

  • We are supportive of the service YEAH offers the homeschool community and would like to see it continue into the future.

Read on:

1) For you . . . keeping your membership updated will allow you priority registration and could make a difference when you least expect it.  This could include occasions such as several years from now when your child decides he/she would like to graduate with YEAH and your on-and-off-and-only-used-as-needed-membership history put her at the bottom of the wait list (unfortunately, that time will come all too soon!).  Or, for example, she did not get into a class you really wanted her to take because your registration was held up due to seniority issues and a history of lapsed memberships. Both of these scenarios occur more often then I would like to think.

2) For you . . . the $15.00 annual family sustaining membership can easily be recouped if you only attend a couple of adult education workshops (there is a savings of $10.00/couple/workshop for YEAH members who attend the workshops) or decide to take the family skiing with YEAH ($2.00 savings per person for YEAH members).   

3) For you . . . by keeping your family updated in our data base, when you do decide to enroll in classes again, it can easily be switched on and updated.  You will not have to start over from scratch as you would have to as a First Time User. This can save you a lot of time and should be well worth the $15.00 investment now.

4) For the entire homeschool community and for YEAH . . . in the larger picture your membership helps support the efforts of YEAH now and in the future as we strive to come along side of home educating parents homeschool their teens.  YEAH as an organization is a lot more than just classes at The Academy.  It offers services to the entire homeschool community such as sponsorship of the Homeschool College Fair, adult education workshops, PLAN testing services, and development of new programs such as our recent PSEO partnership with NCU, etc. which benefit everyone both now and in the future.  Membership fees go towards the continuing management of things such as the three websites, product development to keep on the cutting edge of technology and services for our members, etc. to help insure that if and when you do decide to utilize YEAH’s services, the organization will still be alive and well -- and will continue to be there for you.  

Thank you for the opportunity to continue to serve you as you home educate your children.

YEAH FUTURE PLANS & PSEO NEWS

Date posted: January 1, 2012

YEAH PSEO opportunities

PSEO College at YEAH update for 2011-2012:  

HISTORY: February, 2009, YEAH began actively working with a local community college toward a program for YEAH to offer their college classes taught on site at YEAH Academy with PSEO courses taught by YEAH tutors who would be hired as adjunct professors.   We were in the final stages, when in mid-April, 2009, it quickly became apparent that YEAH and the community college had different agendas, and both of us must remain true to our standards and goals.  There was an obvious conflict of philosophies and objectives between the two organizations.  Our core values are irrefutable.  Therefore, YEAH discontinued all discussion, plans and proceedings regarding a partnership for this program. 

God immediately opened the door for YEAH to work with North Central University, a Christian university in downtown Minneapolis.  This program was confirmed and unanimously approved on April 30, 2009.  Details about this partnership and program are on the PSEO at YEAH link. 

PSEO Open House was held in March 2011. Representatives from NCU as well as the YEAH adjunct professors of PSEO courses were present to provide information and answer questions. 

NEW for 2011-12: AP (Advanced Placement) courses at The Academy for qualified students in grades 10-12, including students from Wisconsin.

Continuing for 2012-13! 

          YEAH Academy will offer courses for PSEO and other students! 

All classes will be on-site at Bethany Church in Roseville (vs. on campus at the college).

Classes will be available only for and taught solely to home educated individuals who are:

  • YEAH Academy PSEO students
  • Have meet the entrance requirements of NCU 

Classes will be taught by qualified YEAH Academy tutors (who will also be qualified as NCU college adjunct or full professors). 

Click here for more details regarding PSEO at YEAH - or contact YEAH@mtn.org 

  • Support YEAH through your continued membership and donations at www.ouryeah.org
