COLLEGE PREP HOME EDUCATIONCollege Prep Home Education To better meet the needs of parents desiring to home educate their children through high school, a monthly support group meeting is being offered on the fourth Monday of each month at The Pillar Foundation (15820 Clayton Road, Ellisville, MO) from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Each month will discuss a different topic pertaining to college preparation and applying for college. The goal of these meetings is to provide the nuts and bolts home educators need to feel confident to continue home educating their students through high school. Some of the topics will be of interest to parents of junior high age students who are planning ahead and all topics will be of interest to parents of high school students who are preparing for college. There will be an open question and answer session at the end of each meeting.
