Only recently joined HLA for my kids to do the American High School Diploma in South Africa. VERY excited and looking forward to a more Unschooling approach in our home. Thank you for the tips and discussions, it has been valuable!!

I'm so glad you posted this video. I've read some books from some of the unschooling authors you've discussed. It's funny, I wasn't sure if HLA would be supportive of unschooling. Wonderful and encouraging video! Thank you for this discussion.

Thank you for this webinar, it was very insightful for us to see a fresh perspective on unschooling as we are getting ready for our unschooling journey with our three children. Greetings from far away Romania
