Host Notes;
I wanted to again add my endorsement to the New Commonwealth Schools. Having homeschooled for over 10 years, I''ve seen and been apart of many community groups. It wasn't until I found a New Commonwealth School that I found a group where I felt my family belonged. The richness of the curriculum and the mentoring philosophy is a powerful tool for families and for encouraging excellence in education. It is interesting when you have a learning community that is family centered, how each child and mentor is strengthened and service becomes naturally incorporated in creating whole, healthy families
