HOMESCHOOL LINKS

Homeschooling Helps

Lancaster Learning Link
Our purpose is to be an extension of your homeschool by providing Jr. High and High School academics that can be difficult to do individually in a home environment. We do this by providing instructors who are knowledgeable and experienced with an enthusiasm for teaching and a dedication to applying their knowledge in a Christian context.

Bright Lights
Bright Lights delivers summer learning adventures that stretch and challenge youth's interests and hobbies. Developed for elementary and middle school students, the Bright Lights' program emphasizes "hands-on, minds on" learning. Interesting educational activities are provided in intensive, three-hour daily blocks of time, allowing students to pursue focused interests beyond the nine-month classroom. Teachers are chosen for their ability with kids and their passion to engage students in their field of expertise.

Me and My House Ministries
Me and My House Ministries, based in North Platte, Nebraska, provides home school resources based on "Lifestyle Education through Discipleship." This site includes information on seminars, materials and Nebraska home schooling laws.

Learning Rx
LearningRx Centers help individuals of all ages and performance levels. Unlike tutoring or computer-based programs that focus on behavior management or specific academic skills, LearningRx provides cognitive skills training that improve the brain's ability to process information. It does for mental abilities what exercise does for the body.
