Do you have questions about
whether you can homeschool high school,

how to manage learning to drive, social needs, and the college admissions process?
Each month we'll choose topics to be discussed, and follow the discussions with questions and answers - and lots of encouragement.
This month's topic will be twofold:
Essentials: Writing for your homeschooled teen
Transcript how-to's for the record-keeper.
We have several veteran homeschoolers willing to share and offer assistance. Several of our vets have young adults in the workforce, young adults in college, or teens who are taking college- or AP-classes now. We also have parents with teens taking a more traditional high school course load.
The meetings will be held from 7:30pm - 9:30pm at Starbucks on Rte. 25 in Monroe.

Each Forum will include one presentation that is 15 minutes in length. A presentation with this duration must be reserved in advance.

From time to time we have the privilege of honoring some children (and their parents) who homeschool through high school. This year we will take some time out of the final Kids Forum of the year in Bethel to honor our young adults who will be full-time college students in the fall.
We hope families will come to this Forum and share in the celebration of the students' commencement.
Because we want to have enough time to acknowledge our graduates, we ask that any child planning to present at the Forum to please keep his or her presentation to 5 minutes or fewer.
Please note: You do not need to present at the Forum to come to the Forum. All are welcome to come and enjoy the presentations and the commencement.
Please RSVP Diane Speed at email address below if you plan to attend so that we can plan accordingly!
