In the “only” five years I have been homeschooling, I have seen opportunities explode. We’ve gradually taken advantage of online offerings as my children have gotten older and are able to use computers. We started with Spanish Academy , Codeverse. A couple of months ago we added Synthesis to Hailey’s curriculum.
Although I didn’t know what to expect, the collaborative learning program has taught me to love it. It teaches kids how to develop their critical thinking skills. Although she attends weekly cohorts on her own, they encourage minimal parent involvement. They started things off with an interactive parent session which focused on our top goals: growth mindset, creative problem-solving, group communication, and reaching goal with people all over the globe. Parents are also sent weekly emails with video clips and updates from their child’s sessions so that I can understand what they are doing.
I have shared some snippets from our experience, and I am so happy that this is helping Hailey become a more thoughtful decision maker as well as a better communicator. I decided to write a blog post that breaks down all the details for you in case it is a good match for your child. This program is open to everyone, not just homeschoolers.
