Home School Classes:
We are prepared to offer classes in the following areas and will consider others on request:
- Reading (increasing speed and comprehension and building vocabulary)
- Writing (basic composition, expressive and essay writing)
- Languages (French, Latin, Spanish)
- Math (from basic math skills up through algebra, geometry, and calculus)

While it is ideal for most of the students in a class to be at roughly the same level, our approach allows for some range of skills and development within a class.
We also welcome the opportunity to work with home-schooled students individually or small groups in these subject areas.
