Alernatives

Over the past few years home schooling has become increasingly popular for multiple reasons.  At BRAINTRAIN we see clients who are interested in home schooling for religious, academic, and/or social reasons.  Some clients want to accelerate the speed of their learning while others want to customize theirs and take as long as they need.  All of our home schoolers are overseen by a 31 year veteran of public and private schools.  Most important is the fact that she is a mother who home schooled her own children from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Based on the different types of needs we have seen, BRAINTRAIN offers the following services:

• Consulting - We will gladly share our expertise and opinions of various home school programs; home school umbrella programs through private schools; pre-packaged curriculums, etc.  There are many out there to choose from, and many are very costly.  We have not necessarily found good and bad programs/materials, but specific ones that are better for certain individuals.  We will share with you the pros and cons of various programs and materials based on an hourly fee.
  
• Customized Programs - Many of our clients prefer a custom-made home school program.  Because we test prior to setting up the program it truly is custom-made.  Refer to the section of this site regarding diagnostic testing.
  
• BRAINTRAIN Academy - There are many students that simply cannot be successful in a large group setting and many parents that are just not comfortable following through with a home school plan themselves. This alternative setting is designed for the student that benefits from instruction but is also capable of doing some work independently. The pace varies with each client and is available K-12.
  
• Tutoring - Sometimes students need additional help in specific subjects. We will set up one-on-one sessions to help your child master almost any subject area.
