Homeschooling for Excellence

How to Take Charge of Your Child's Education--and Why You Absolutely MUST



For over fifteen years, David and Micki Colfax have been educating their children at home. They don't think of themselves aspioneers, though that's what they have become. Unhappy with the public schools, the Colfaxes wanted the best education possible for their four sons: a program for learning that met the evolving needs of each child and gave them complete control of how and what their children learned. The r3esults? A prescription for excellence--Harvard educations for their sons Grant, Drew and Reed. (Their fourth son is still too young for college.)



Now the Colfaxes tell how all parents can become involved in homeschooling. In a straight-talking book that reads like a frank conversation among friends, they tell what they did and how they did it: their educational approaches, the elssons they learned, and what materials--books, equipment, educational aids--proved most useful over the years. Best of all, they show you how you can take charge of your children's education--in an invaluable sourcebook that will help you find a rewarding and successful alternative to our failing schools.
