Homeschool Consulting

What is homeschool consulting?

Homeschool consulting is assistance with planning your child's homeschool year. We at PHC understand that it can be daunting to plan a school year that you are confident will give your child everything he or she needs. Our staff can guide you through the process of homeschooling and answer all of your questions. Our goal in consulting is to make sure you are satisfied that your child is getting the best home education you can provide. PHC is available for consultation with Twin Cities homeschool families.

Common Questions of Homeschool Families

How do I get started?

A PHC director will meet with you to help you file state homeschool paperwork and understand the basics of homeschooling.

What curriculum should I use?

PHC's directors are familiar with many options for homeschool curriculum and we can help you choose the one that best fits your child.

How should I teach my child?

A PHC director will discuss teaching and grading methods with you to help you decide what is best for your child while still meeting state requirements.
