CONSULTATIONS

Patrick Farenga has been working with, helping, and consulting with unschoolers, homeschoolers, families considering homeschooling, schools, and teachers for over twenty-five years. Pat now offers private consultations, mostly by telephone but occasionally in person when possible. The fee is $95 for a 45-minute consultation via telephone.

To schedule a consultation, first fill out these forms:

• Pre-consultation form

• Online payment and schedule form.

As always, Pat speaks from the John Holt/Growing Without Schooling perspective and can address most if not all of your homeschooling questions, whether you are in the early stages of considering whether to homeschool or have been homeschooling for years. For instance, some common consultation topics are:

How do I start homeschooling?

Where do I find the laws and support for homeschooling in my state?

How do I develop individualized curricula for each child?

How do I describe my childrens' unconventional learning to school authorities?

What are my options for teaching and learning in ways that don't or can't happen in school?

How do we handle college admissions for homeschoolers and alternatives to college attendance?

PLEASE NOTE: Pat does not give legal advice, evaluate children for a school system, administer tests, or act in the capacity of a child, family, or marriage counselor.
