Diane Speed

Diane Speed educated her two children at home from pre-school through high school using a program of her own design with two aims: 1) meeting high academic standards; 2) addressing her children’s individual learning needs. Both of Diane’s children received substantial merit scholarships from the colleges they attended, and she attributes their exceptional performance largely to their being homeschooled. Since 2001 Diane has launched a number of homeschooling groups and services, including The Classical Kids Network and HS College-Bound. She is also an acclaimed teacher of honors-level biology and chemistry, inspiring even non-STEM students to fall in love with science.
