Summer School and Discounts

Homeschool Connections is offering online summer camps this school year and they're open for registration. There are classes for middle and high school with some fantastic teachers. If you register before the end of this month (April) you can get a $20 to $30 discount.

I always "school-light" over the summer. My school teacher friends tell me that they spend the first 2 to 3 months each school year just reviewing the lessons from the previous school year. I figure it's easier to do a little bit of school work over the summer than review come September.

Learning is a year-round experience and with online classes you can take your learning just about anywhere. We've had students take classes at the beach on their laptops, on vacation in Peru, and at the library in a visiting city.

Here are the Summer Camps being offered. Simply click on the camp titles to learn more or to register:
