English Language Arts Specialists

We do not teach other subjects such as math or science. We are laser focused on one single subject: English Language Arts.
We teach it through Literature, also know as The Doc H Approach.

At Discern Academy, we specialize exclusively in English Language Arts—literature, writing, and critical thinking—taught by Dr. Hodgson PhD. Our in-depth, interactive program develops strong readers, articulate writers, and analytical thinkers, preparing students for academic success and beyond.

"Good evening,  Yes! He was so excited to tell me when I arrived home from work that he got a 95 and he got it first try all by himself! I feel like I finally have a kid who enjoys reading and can write a sentence without a total crash out. You have no idea how big of a difference your program made for him. I truly cannot thank you enough for all of this. And the upcharge for not having to do the grading or critiquing... so worth it to us! Thank you so much."

"Discern Academy has been an answer to prayer for our son.  The books are captivating with a God centered focus.  The lessons are challenging but not overwhelming.  Our son, who is dyslexic, is enjoying and learning at the same time."
