Homeschooling through high school might seem intimidating, but be encouraged! These can be the most enjoyable and influential years you have with your teens. This 3-hour seminar will help you develop a comprehensive 7-12th grade plan. Starting with a strong academic foundation of high school courses and credits, you will learn how to individualize your students’ education based on their graduation goals. You will also learn how to create a transcript, include earning college credit in high school with PSEO and CLEP, and explore the guiding steps for career exploration. Parents and students alike will gain confidence and be encouraged to homeschool through high school as they see the big picture unfold and create a vision for these extraordinary years. Teens are encouraged to attend with their parents at no extra charge!

Park Day/ Nerf Battle

New Parents: The pictures on Google of Irving Park can be deceiving. Irving Park was reconstructed with new playground equipment and the sand was replaced with wood chips. The park is enclosed so even the little ones can roam freely while being watched from a distance. All kiddos, even the ones not doing Nerf, usually have a good time. Bring a lunch and join us!

Nerf enthusiasts: Join us for an Epic Battle on The Grid. Bring your guns, swords, crossbows, and axes. It's a friendly game with parents joining in on the action. No serious play just making sure all kiddos feel welcomed. 

*Homeschool Dads: This event is super Dad friendly. Bring your Nerf guns and have a good time*

When:  Friday, November 2nd 

Time:  12:00 - 2:00 p.m.
