Employment of the Future?

Texas keeps a list of jobs where the demand for workers is expected to be higher than the number of qualified people available. You can use this list to help guide career and training choices.

Why Take Our Courses

“…teenagers with clear plans can typically expect to go on to better employment outcomes than classmates who are uncertain.”   — OECD (2024), “Teenage career uncertainty: Why it matters and how to reduce it?”, OECD Education Spotlights, No. 16, OECD Publishing, Paris

Explore Different Career Opportunities

Career aspirations are a good predictor of the jobs that students go on to occupy as adults. Students will likely realize their dream occupation when they have an expanded knowledge about the world of work and personal background to support those dreams.

Connecting Students with Employers

We strive to bridge the skill gap between employers and young people. We provide career insight information through career and subject talks, mentoring, workplace visits, job shadowing and short work placement opportunities whereever possible.

Homeschooling: Getting Started

Homeschooling is an educational approach where parents or guardians take responsibility for educating their children at home instead of sending them to a traditional public or private school.  In homeschooling, the parent acts as the primary teacher or may coordinate learning with tutors or online programs. This method provides a customized education plan catering to a child’s learning style, pace, and interests.

Homeschooling in Texas

Homeschooling in Texas is legal and relatively straightforward. The Texas Supreme Court issued a decision guaranteeing the right of Texas parents to teach their children at home without fear of prosecution. (Leeper et al. v. Arlington ISD et al., June 15, 1994)

Defining your Homeschooling Goals

Homeschooling offers unmatched flexibility and personalization, but with that freedom comes the responsibility of setting a clear direction. Whether you’re just beginning your homeschooling journey or reevaluating your current approach, defining your goals is crucial to creating a meaningful and practical educational experience for your child.

Choosing Homeschool Curriculum

Homeschooling can be an excellent option for parents who want more control over their child’s education and want to create a customized learning experience that meets their individual needs. It can also be a great way to build strong relationships between parents and children and foster a love of learning.

Set Up an Educational Space

Creating an adequate homeschooling educational space requires thoughtful planning to ensure it meets the needs of both students and parents. A well-designed space supports learning, organization, and well-being, providing a foundation for academic success and family harmony.

Creating a Homeschool Calendar and Schedule

Creating a homeschool calendar and schedule involves striking a balance between structure and flexibility, which is key to fostering academic success and a positive learning environment. Structure provides predictability and routine, helping students develop time management skills and stay on track with educational goals.

Teaching Your Child in Your Homeschool

Homeschooling offers an incredible opportunity to tailor your child’s education to their unique needs, interests, and learning pace. But stepping into the role of “teacher” can feel daunting if you’re used to traditional education models. Teaching in your homeschool doesn’t require perfection—it involves intention, flexibility, and a deep understanding of your child’s individual needs.

Assessment and Record-Keeping in Your Homeschool

Homeschooling provides the freedom to tailor education to your child’s individual needs, but with that freedom comes the responsibility of tracking progress and maintaining essential records.

Building a Thriving Homeschool Community: Why Connection Matters

Homeschooling may be a personal journey, but it doesn’t have to be lonely. Whether teaching a toddler the alphabet or guiding a teen through high school algebra, building a supportive homeschool community can be a game-changer. It brings encouragement, shared wisdom, and fresh ideas into your homeschool life—and helps your kids make meaningful connections, too.

Individualizing Your Homeschool Education

One of the most potent advantages of homeschooling is the ability to individualize your child’s education. Unlike traditional classrooms, which must follow a fixed pace and curriculum, homeschooling offers the freedom to tailor learning experiences based on your child’s unique strengths, needs, interests, and learning style. Individualized education doesn’t just make learning more effective—it also fosters confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Stay Informed and Open to Adaptation in Your Homeschool

Homeschooling provides the freedom to tailor education to your child’s individual needs, but with that freedom comes the responsibility of tracking progress and maintaining essential records.

How to Evaluate Your Child’s Homeschool Academic Progress

One of the most empowering aspects of homeschooling is the flexibility to tailor education to your child’s unique needs. However, with that freedom comes the responsibility to ensure your child makes meaningful academic progress. Whether you’re new to homeschooling or a seasoned parent-educator, here are practical and effective ways to evaluate your child’s progress across subjects.

Preparing to Transition Your Child to Public Institution from Homeschool

Transitioning from homeschooling to a public institution is a significant milestone for both the child and the parent. Whether you’re making the move for academic, social, or logistical reasons, careful preparation can help ensure a smoother adjustment. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you and your child confidently leap.
