Classroom Freedom
Standards Plus History Academy was started to break free…free from the monopolistic constraints of a government-run education system that has become over-regulated, over-tested, and over-politicized. If I learned anything during and after Covid, technology has opened the door to learning outside the power and control of a consistently under-performing system.
How We Can Help
It began when two mothers approached me with the same request: How can we homeschool our high-school age sons without having to personally teach them? They were dissatisfied with the limited local school options when they discovered my online curriculum materials. They called, requesting that I offer online instruction teaching my own materials. At the time, I hadn’t thought of offering online instruction though I had experience doing it. Since then, Standards Plus History Academy has been providing a standards-based online history and government education, including materials, resources, and instruction – in short, an alternative to public education. If you find yourself in a similar situation, Standards Plus History Academy can help.
