Timothy Ministry classes are held on Tuesdays, during two 14 week semesters (28 weeks total per year). The Fall Semester begins in early August through late November or early December. The Spring Semester begins in early January through late April or early May.
Timothy Ministry is thankful to partner with First Baptist Church of Woodstock (FBCW) on Tuesdays to offer classes for homeschooling families. We utilize both the A-building and B-Building for our classes. FBCW is located at 11905 Highway 92, Woodstock, Georgia 30188.
Tuition costs vary per class. Amount listed is per year. Please see Admissions > Class Listings > Class Descriptions for more details. There is a $75 registration fee per student, per year. We offer a payment plan if you prefer, with the first payment due at registration.
How do I register for classes?
All prospective families must complete a New Family Application and submit two references per student before being admitted to Timothy Ministry. Once a new family has been admitted, they will need to create a registration account through our Online Registration System and add your students to your family profile. When registration opens in May, you will click on "Classes" under each student and "Register for Classes". Select the classes you would like to register that student in, then "Checkout to Confirm" after all classes have been selected for each of your students.
For more information on registration, please visit Admissions Process.
Can my child take only elective classes?
Yes! We offer all of our classes "a la carte", meaning that you may choose as many, or as few classes as you need to enroll in. You may register in all academic classes, all elective classes, or a combination of both.
Do you offer a complete curriculum?
Yes, we offer a full academic curriculum beginning in 6th grade.
For Kindergarten-2nd grade, we offer elective and enrichment classes. The parent is responsible for providing a curriculum, or expanding upon the Timothy Ministry class on home days. Because this age needs daily instruction, we find it best for the parent to provide phonics, reading, and math instruction on home days.
Beginning in 3rd grade, we offer a complete curriculum in Language Arts, Science, and History. Our math classes in 3rd-5th grade are "enrichment classes" and you will need to provide your own math curriculum for home days.
Kindergarten through 2nd grade will not be assigned homework, except for occasional, optional activities.
Beginning in 3rd grade, Language Arts, Science, and History classes will include homework assignments. Parental involvement will be required.
Homework should be expected and is required in Middle and High School academic classes. Please review the class description for more details.
Will I need to remain on campus while my child is in class?
No. We do not allow parents to remain on campus during the school day. If you have a K-2nd grader, you will be required to walk them to parent drop-off and wait with them until a hall monitor allows students through to their classes. You will pick them up from our parent pickup location after their last class. We employ parents as hallway monitors to walk K-2nd graders from class to class.
If your child is in 3rd grade or above, they are allowed to walk to their classes on their own, under the supervision of hallway monitors.
All K-5th grade students should wear a "bag tag" attached to their backpack, so that hallway monitors can help them get to their next class.
All students are required to have a complete schedule between their first and last class. If your child has a "gap" between classes, please add to their schedule either "Gap: Student with Parent" or for Middle/High School students you may add "Study Hall" or "Gap: B-Foyer Free Time". We need to know where all students should be at all times.
What options does my child have for lunch?
All K-6th grade students must be enrolled in a lunch bunch. If the parent would prefer to have lunch with their student, please enroll your child in “Lunch: student with parent.” Parents opting for this must pick up their student and eat off campus before dropping their student off for their next class.
Lunch Bunch will provide a safe and controlled environment for students in K – 6th grade to eat lunch. Your student’s lunch bunch classroom is their 11:00am class; unless they have an allergy and need to be in the peanut free lunch room. Students are expected to stay with their assigned teacher during their entire lunch break.
Middle and High School students will have lunch in the Fellowship Hall. During registration, there are two options for your 7th-12th grader to have lunch on campus:
- Lunch with Café: YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR THIS AT REGISTRATION. For a small fee (approximately $6/week), lunch is provided for your student each week from the FBCW Café (i.e. a rotation of chicken tenders/fries, cheeseburgers/fries, etc). Students pick up lunch from the Café in
the B-building and then eat in the A-building Fellowship Hall.
2. Lunch in Fellowship Hall: Students must bring their own lunch
Students will not have access to a microwave during lunchtime.
A bag tag is a small version of your child's schedule attached to their backpack. You can purchase a luggage tag to insert their schedule into, or create your own. We require all elementary students to have a bag tag attached to their backpack, with their current schedule including time, class, and room number.
How can we get to know other Timothy Ministry families?
When you have registered for classes, we invite you to join our closed Facebook group "The Timothy Ministry @ FBCW".
Many of our families visit the playground at FBCW "Kidstock" after class. This is a great opportunity to get to know other Timothy families.
Is a uniform required for students attending Timothy Ministry?
Yes, we require all Timothy Ministry students to wear a uniform shirt, without exception. This t-shirt style shirt must have the Timothy Ministry logo. During the winter months, your child may wear a long sleeved shirt under their polo or t-shirt, or wear Timothy Ministry approved outerwear.
