Are you questioning conventional schooling? Do you need support in exploring the world of alternatives?
Questioning the mainstream can feel isolating, and it’s often difficult to know where to begin to search for answers. But you’re not alone. A growing number of people are looking for options outside of the mainstream education system, and one to one mentoring can help you feel heard, understood and supported, as you explore what might work best for your family.
There are many inspiring alternatives to conventional schooling, and new models continue to emerge – placing mental health and wellbeing, children’s rights, social justice and real-world life skills at their core. From home education to flexischooling, Montessori, forest school, democratic education, online learning and worldschooling – there are many different ways for children to learn and thrive outside of mainstream. But it can feel overwhelming knowing where to begin.
If you could benefit from a listening ear and a supportive sounding board, to help you take the next steps with confidence and clarity, have a look at our new mentoring offer at info.progressiveeducation.org/mentoring
