Exploring Alternative Schooling- Home Education

Event start
Not all children learn the same way, and sometimes, conventional schools just don’t fit the bill—especially for our gifted kids. If you’re curious about alternative education options, join us for a relaxed and informative evening where we’ll explore different education styles. This is a great opportunity for parents, guardians, and anyone interested in alternative approaches to education, shared from the perspective of a mum with gifted children.
