We at Branford Grove School hope to help you by assisting your family with the following services: obtaining and maintaining the cumulative files, record keeping assistance, communicating with school officials as needed, directing you to curriculum resources and homeschooling support groups, and offering, through our publications, encouragement and the knowledge we have gained through years of facilitating our own children's education. Our Director, Peggy Foltz, homeschooled her own children and has over twenty years of hands-on homeschooling experience, K - 12 and beyond. Her children were homeschooled using an interest-initiated learning technique. Like most parents who choose to homeschool she learned as she went along, as homeschooling is a work in progress. Eventually she found that a self-directed educational style fit her family's needs as it promotes a real love for learning and each child is free to learn about and thoroughly explore those subjects which most interest him/her. In addition, through this method, students become life-long learners--a necessary requirement as we move into the high-tech Twenty-first Century.
