Homeschool Options
There are so many options available to families now considering homeschooling! There is definitely more than Zoom Schooling as many of us did in the throws of the pandemic!! You can always drop by one of our offices. (Anchorage or Eagle River – both have an office)
You may also like to join our IDEA Field Rep at the Anchorage office or over zoom to meet other homeschooling parents and some of our IDEA Staff. We’ll talk options for curricula and schedules, clear up common misconceptions, get an intro to learning styles, and discuss if homeschooling would be a benefit for your family. We’d love to hear your story and share benefits of homeschooling! Please click here to sign up. Thank you!
