New to Homeschool Orientation
One-on-One Consultations
Everyone agrees that home-based education is growing both in numbers and in scope. Research on the academic advantages of homeschooling are incredible yet many questions remain unanswered for parents interested in this educational choice. This successful teaching phenomenon of personalized home-based, parent-directed education has captured the attention of parents nationwide. Despite its remarkable growth the need for one on one personal homeschooling orientations are in big demand. FEAST has seen a rise in phone, website and internet contacts from those wanting more information about this remarkable teaching format. If you would like to learn how to homeschool successfully, or just to gather more information, select one of our orientations below and schedule an appointment to meet with one of our homeschooling specialists.
“New to Homeschooling” Orientation
FEAST schedules one-hour homeschool orientation classes, Monday-Thursday at either 10:30am or 2:30pm. Along with answering all your questions with information on helpful programs and support, this one hour class covers the details of the Texas requirements and the rights of a homeschool family. During orientation, we will show you samples of different curriculum and explain where to purchase them online. We also cover record keeping and practical help for getting started on your homeschool journey.
