VIRTUAL HOMESCHOOL | HOMESCHOOL CONSULTING | HOMESCHOOL FOR LEARNING DIFFERENCES
Our homeschool department is a specific department at our company dedicated to helping families create safe, nurturing homeschool environments during the Pandemic.
This is our introductory programming & coaching for students who are looking for an alternative learning path. Currently, we offer virtual homeschool, in-person learning pods for small groups of up to 3-4 children along with a service to guide parents to place their own homeschool or nanny support.
In our programs, our Academic managers and coaches teach your child not only the homeschool curriculum but they can also instruct on Candice’s social-emotional programming to instill better resilience, positive thinking, and organization tools to better navigate their challenges with the right outlook. With this combination toolkit, no matter your child’s starting point, age, or learning profile, we have found that all students can learn how to learn!

Our Process & Approach
Intake & Assessment
It all begins with a phone consultation with one of our client services enrollment executives. Once we have a feel for the needs of the family, we implement an assessment coach who meets with the student and family to assess further needs.
Implementation
Once the Assessment coach or instructor has met with the family, a strategy is created by the assessment staff and our Client Success department. It is then implemented. Our recommendations for days of meeting and curriculum depend on our assessment.
Ongoing Evaluation
The coach and Client Success team meet regularly to assess progress and to assess key moments to implement further skill-building and curriculum for the client.
