Service Description

I consider it a great privilege to evaluate homeschooling families. As a homeschooler myself, I know all the effort that goes into a year of home education, and I'm here to serve you. I see the end of the year evaluation as an opportunity for you and your student to reflect and celebrate the growth that occurred over the year. I take an interview-like approach, asking students and their parent(s) questions about their year. I am able to evaluate all grades, though my professional training is for grades 7-12. For secondary students, I interview the student,discuss PA graduation requirements and can help the parent to plan for the future. We also can discuss diploma programs. I am an approved MDHSA Diploma Program Evaluator. For younger students, I engage with both student and parent to get a picture of educational and personal growth over the year. If you are scheduling a senior evaluation, please indicate this on the form and provide the graduation certificate at the time of the evaluation. I will not sign graduation certificates without evidence and of PA state requirements. I do not provide transcripts. Cost is $40, $30 per additional sibling with a cap of $100 per family. Narrative-style evaluations can be provided for an additional $10 per evaluation. Meet at The Farmhouse at 1200 Butler Lane, Perkasie, PA. The environment is relaxed and casual. I am available select Monday and Thursday afternoons in May and June and Wednesday mornings in June. Evaluations are scheduled in 30 minute intervals. If these days/times do not work, please reach out via email.
