What do we Do?
FBCLPEM is the educational ministry of First Baptist Church of La Plata, and serves Maryland homeschooling families by providing oversight in lieu of reviews directly with the county

Levels of Service
We offer standard level oversight (reviews and mentoring) as well as transcript level oversight (transcripts and a high school diploma provided). Mixed-Level oversight is available if you wish to keep younger students at Standard, while placing older students in Transcript.

Availability
Availability is based upon the number of advisors who currently volunteer for the ministry. We give first priority to returning members and open additional spots as they are available

Renewal
If you are currently a member, you are guaranteed a spot in the next year. You will be emailed early in the summer to determine whether you would like to renew your membership

Notification
New applicants will be notified by August 1st with either a membership application or a notice that membership is not available
