I’m so thankful for the incredible introductory seminar… It put my mind at ease to start our homeschool journey, answered every question we had about starting homeschooling and gave great encouragement (and excitement!) to start school at home this fall. Thank you CHEC and Stephen Craig, for laying out the foundation so simply, and taking away the guesswork of the Colorado laws, and what’s required of parents. We’ll also be signing up with CHEC, as they take away the stress of submitting anything to the public school system. Thank you again! ~ Monica

The Nuts and Bolts and the Law sections were the most helpful. I am really overwhelmed by the “how” of it all. I am one who will over schedule and get overwhelmed. Hearing real stories about real situations was informative and reassuring. The tips were great. The law is so confusing to read so it was nice to have that spelled out.
