Greetings Homeschool Mom!

​

Our Homeschool Moms' Science Retreat is a rejuvenating time when homeschool moms (the heart of homeschooling) from around the country spend time together, share ideas, and learn about teaching Christ-centered science to their children.

​

My wife and I homeschooled our daughters all the way through (except for 1st grade for our oldest - I'll tell you a story about that). They have both graduated from college (we'll talk about my somewhat controversial thoughts on the college process). I've taught thousands of homeschooled students, and I've taught and counseled hundreds of science and pre-med major college students (along with directing a university gross anatomy / cadaver lab).

Those experiences give me a unique perspective on what we're doing right and what we can improve as Christian homeschooling parents... and I have some great stories! :)

​

We'll do a variety of labs and dissections, talk about teaching and supplies, etc. You'll certainly learn in our teaching sessions but you'll also benefit from the wisdom and experience of other homeschool moms in time spent hanging out and relaxing with them. You'll love the labs and you'll have new labs and inspiration to take home to your children and/or homeschool co-op classes.

​

In addition to lots of fun and unique hands-on science, we'll talk about:
 

- Do we push too many students to go to college?

- How and when to start preparing your child(ren) who may be science majors
- College selection - does it matter?
- The BIG thing that most homeschooling parents get wrong about homeschool science.
- The truth about SAT and ACT and other standardized testing and the mistake almost every homeschooling family makes.
- What you should start doing in fourth grade (or as soon after that as you can)
- College scholarships - what really matters.
- How to teach science to younger students that will ultimately help them in the high school years and college.
- The mistakes that most homeschooling families make with science-leaning high school students
- What your children will face in college and how to prepare them for that experience.
- The specific medical profession that I believe is a no brainer for students right now if they're interest in a medical profession.
- Science and medical professions; the educational requirements, compensation, types of work, employment outlook, pros and cons, etc. We'll also spend time on your questions.

​

And, last but not least, I'll tell you cool stories and "real-life" lessons from a university gross anatomy (cadaver) lab. For example:

​

- Some of my students were dissecting a cadaver and noticed something shiny near the spinal cord. What do you think it was? :)
- What do you think we found in the nasal cavity of a 70 year-old male cadaver that had probably been there for almost 70 years? :)
- How I introduce students to the cadaver lab.

- The Ashley and John story that I tell to all of my students.
- What makes a student stand-out to their professors and admission committees (and it's Biblical)?
- Why I believe that God created us and everything around us - as stated in the Bible.. and why it's critically important for our children to understand and think critically about that.

And... you'll be fellowshipping with, and learning from, other homeschooling moms in a relaxing, refreshing environment.
 

I hope to seeing you there.
 

In His Grip,
 

Greg
