Charter School


We've decided to join a charter school. The main reason is financial. The school provides some funds that we can use to buy curriculum and provide classes for Rachel. She really loves her art and science classes and those can add up quickly. We had a great meeting with our educational specialist (ES). She is a former teacher who homeschooled her daughter while her son goes to SOTH (school outside the home). She seems like a terrific fit for our family.

We began sending our children to a charter school last year. We couldn't be happier! We never homeschooled our kids--our decision was to move our kids out of the local school because they weren't being challenged at the level of their potential, and we just couldn't get their teachers to understand the kids' needs, even though we had IQ scores to back up what we were telling them. So off to charter school we've gone. While it isn't a perfect school, my kids are thriving academically and emotionally. They LOVE their school! I wish the same for you and your family!
