"Last year, we homeschooled our 5th grader because he was having some problems in 4th grade, and although we've sent him back to public school this year, we still support out friends and family members who continue to homeschool their children year after year.

I believe the quality of instruction in most home-schools is higher than in most public schools, because the parents can tailor their teaching to their children's individual strengths and weaknesses, spending more time on areas they need extra help in, and exploring more in-depth areas of particular interest.

Homeschooled students develop good study habits early on, and are often a year or two ahead of their peers of the same age. They enter high school or college well-prepared to do advanced work."

"VI has given me an excellent opportunity as a homeschooler to pursue my dreams and reach my goal for a higher education. The transition was smooth, and everybody was very helpful and welcoming."
