  • Many of our families are continuing with homeschooling longer than they anticipated because of how well it works for them. Parents find our lessons align with school learning outcomes, but offer the benefits of allowing children to learn at their own pace and the flexibility to dedicate time to other interests.

I'm very empathetic to the schools. It's very difficult for them to move as quickly as they need to address this. But in homeschooling, you have the flexibility and you have the control.
