Sometimes the decisions facing us with the upcoming high school years can cause us to lose confidence; yet, it is precisely these years that have the most return for us as parents. In this session, practical and tangible information will be covered regarding course material, extra-curricular activities, transcripts, diplomas, ACT, SAT, PSAT, TOPS, free online tutorials, and classes, college prep vs. business, and resources for "the teacher." You will have to listen fast, but handouts will be available as well.

"My child hates piano - should I let him stop?" "I'm thinking about starting my children in music - what should I do?" "When should my child begin piano?" "Should all children learn piano?" These are questions I commonly hear from homeschool parents. What should one look for in a teacher? How can a child be encouraged to play? These questions and more will be covered in this workshop.

God has created each family and each family member to be unique. When we, as parents, embark on this adventure we call “home schooling,” we need to realize that we cannot have a “one-size-fits-all” mentality. What works well for another family may spell disaster for yours. The success your first child enjoyed with your original curriculum choice may not be mirrored by your second child. We’ll touch on a variety of ways you can educate your children, from kindergarten through high school, without getting stuck in an educational rut. We’ll also explore some of the many opportunities that await your child after graduation. Join us as we learn to “Think Outside the Box.”
