Due to an enthusiastic response by both families and post-secondary institutions alike, the HEMS 2013 Curriculum & Resource Conference has scheduled a round table workshop devoted to this purpose. This would be an opportunity to give an overview of what your institution has to offer the home educated youth, and what best prepares these young people to meet the post-secondary world. There will be a Q & A component the discussion, as well.

If you are interested in participating in this workshop at this June 15th, 2013 event at the Stone Ridge Church, in Sackville, NS, please indicate so on your registration, or contact me by email.
