Paul Austin, M.Ed.
As a family that has successfully homeschooled three children (two girls and one boy), I can assure you that homeschooling is not only possible, but also incredibly rewarding. Ignore any doubts or skepticism from others; your choice to homeschool is a commendable one.
Through the homeschool community and many conversations later, we discovered a huge resource for FREE! We could participate in an enrichment program that supported our families desire to homeschool our kids. By having at least one day each week to allow our kids to socialize with others, along with educators covering topics/curriculum that are challenging or needed special materials, and most importantly -- receiving encouragement from other homeschoolers and families was invaluable.
We're thrilled to hear that you, too, believe there has to be a better way to educate your kids…homeschooling is that way!
While homeschooling presents its challenges, the flexibility it offers allows you to take breaks when needed, celebrate growth and progress, and discover that learning can occur anyplace, anytime. You know your child better than anyone, and this insight lets you tailor their education to what works best for them. Homeschooling means you can determine the influences on your child(ren’s) education, aligning their learning with your family's values, beliefs, and priorities. Homeschooling is a powerful way to preserve what matters most to your family.
We at FHP are here to support you in creating a supportive and comfortable learning environment through enrichment, in order to meet your child(ren’s) educational needs. Let’s partner together in this fulfilling journey of homeschooling.
