The Homeroom Education Advantage
Meeting Every Student’s Learning Needs
At Homeroom Education we understand that no two students learn the same way. For this reason each of our workshops incorporate multiple approaches to learning. We always give students the opportunity to learn through listening, reading, and doing; thus ensuring maximum retention, engagement, and enthusiasm for the workshop topic. Our small workshop size also provides ample opportunity for group work, individual study, and one-on-one guidance from our expert faculty.
An Inch Wide and a Mile Deep
You won’t find any subject overviews here. All workshops, developed by Homeroom Education faculty, are designed to help students dive deep into their studies. This is why our workshops focus on specific topics or aspects of a subject. Rather than study the Great War we go in depth and look at the technology and espionage of WWI. Our inch wide and a mile deep approach helps students learn something new and exciting whether they are an expert or a novice in the workshop topic!
