A Note from the Director:
Dear Homeschooling Family,
Thank you for your interest in our programs for homeschoolers. Since 1990, we have been providing programming for homeschoolers in a variety of different capacities. Currently we offer three one-week residential programs for throughout the year- in March, May, and October. We believe that a week at Hulbert can be an excellent place for your child to meet other homeschoolers from across the Northeast and the country, to make friends, to try new things, and to be part of a new, healthy, supportive community for the week. Participants and their families most frequently find the Hulbert program something that they want to integrate into their yearly homeschooling calendar.
Depending on your child’s age, you and your child may have specific goals for the week. For some of our youngest participants it may be the first time they have been away from you and other close family members for the week. This can be a great step of independence for a nine or ten year old participant. Parents find Hulbert to be a supportive community with caring staff to help make this possible. A balance of structure and choice exists so that participants can achieve a greater degree of independence throughout the week, while being part of a larger community.
For an older homeschoolers, goals may include exploring new areas of leadership as well as creating and strengthening social bonds. We find that may of our homeschooling participants make life long friends while at Hulbert that they correspond with throughout the year.
If you have specific questions about the program and whether it is right for your child please feel free to contact me by phone or email.
We hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
Becky Proulx
Homeschool Program Director
