SCARBOROUGH — To assist parents and students who are currently involved in homeschooling or who want to learn more about this educational option in Maine, the T.E.A.C.H. Homeschool Group of South Waterboro is offering two upcoming seminars at the Royal Ridge Church, 6 Royal Ridge Road, Scarborough.
“Nuts & Bolts of Homeschooling” will be offered on Friday, Sept. 26 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. for those just starting out in homeschooling or who are interested in exploring whether homeschooling is for them.
“Homeschooling through High School” will be offered on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for those parents and students just starting to homeschool in high school or for the veteran homeschoolers close to graduating their high school child or children.
Both days will feature guest speakers, including national expert Shirley Minster, along with Penny Cote, Heidi Sampson and Bianca Moses, who have all homeschooled their children through high school. Opportunities will be provided to learn about homeschool communities and local academic resources, find out about homeschool co-ops, glean some insight into how to manage a career while homeschooling, and to browse the book shop for more resources.
For more information or to register for one or both seminars, go to the T.E.A.C.H website at www.teachhomeschool.org.
