Mimi Rothschild Offers Summer Options for Homeschooling Parents

May 13, 2009 - PRLog -- Philadelphia, PA -- As the 2008-2009 school year comes to an end, many parents and families are deciding on summer camps and planning their next vacations. Others are preparing for summer school and continuing education programs. With this in mind, Mimi Rothschild is encouraging homeschooling parents to implement a summer reading curriculum or consider a Learning By Grace summer school program to further sharpen their children’s skills.

“There are many advantages to homeschooling during the summer months,” said Mimi Rothschild, co-founder of Learning By Grace (LBG), a leading provider of K-12 online homeschooling academies.

“Children who receive a year-round education stay fresh and are more likely to accelerate in their abilities and learning,” she added.

Mimi Rothschild is also encouraging current Learning By Grace enrollees to implement a summer school program and also noted that the summer is a good time for prospective parents to see if homeschooling is right for them.

“Parents who are considering homeschooling may want to use the summer as a dry-run,” said Rothschild.

For those looking to scale back during the summer, Learning By Grace is offering a comprehensive reading list so homeschoolers can improve reading skills.

And for parents who wish to continue their child’s education, Mimi Rothschild and Learning By Grace have compiled an extensive summer program that will allow children to surge ahead academically and obtain additional credits towards a high school diploma.

In addition to the academic advantages, children homeschooled during the summer are less likely to develop lazy habits and behaviors that are often acquired during an educational hiatus.

Another advantage of summer homeschooling is the year-round freedom families enjoy to take vacations or travel during non-peak seasons.

“Our curriculum is self-paced, so families that complete work ahead of schedule can use the fall or spring to take a vacation and beat the crowds,” noted Mimi Rothschild.

The Learning By Grace summer school program is available to children of all ages and academic levels, including those who are not homeschooled during the regular school year.
