Educating your child should be about more than just academics that require a 7.5 hour school day and hours of homework, all in the name of being called "rigorous." Education should be about helping your child discover and pursue her passions and build a life for herself.
Wouldn't it be great if you could facilitate your child's education in a way that helps him to truly mold who he is and who he wants to be, without wasting time on busy work and tasks that simply will have no impact on his future?
And what if you could give this to your children and on a world class scale while instilling in them a real passion for learning?
Does such a thing even exist?
Yes, it does and its called homeschooling.
Let's explore the possibilities.
