Are you an approved vendor for Homeschool funding?
Yes! I’m currently an approved Harmony vendor. If you’re interested in classes but receive funding through another program, reach out to DeBryn!
Do you have a foundations class for adults?
Not at this time. But parents who sign up their children for these classes are updated on every week’s lessons and they receive supplementary activities they can do at home with their students. This helps parents to learn the concepts along with their children.
