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.
