IHIP INFORMATION

Individual Home Instruction Plan Information (IHIP):
Fine Arts is a 1/2 credit or .5 credit a year (Approximately 60-80 hours a year).
So to fulfill this, you should plan to complete a minimum of two courses a year.  
And our courses are designed to fit comfortably into that schedule if you do 2 lessons a week.


*Fine Arts Credits for High School Students: 
Most high school students will need to earn at least one credit. Depending on your state requirements that could be anywhere between 120-180 hours of work.

Starting in Year 3 and 4 our courses become more complex and take longer to complete a full drawing or painting of a still life or portraits. Depending on your student it can become a FULL Credit for the year instead of a .5 credit.
