PRACTICE SCHOLAR PROJECTS inspire your youth to:

• Start doing the "hard things"
• Learn time management
• Discover more about who they are
• Understand their duty as a citizen
• Study for extended periods of time out of personal choice
• Write independently and with insight
• Think deeper, study things that may not interest them at first

How do you know if your YOUTH is ready for the Practice Scholar level?

• Are they asking to be with their peers a lot?
• Do they tell you that you are interrupting their study time?
• Have they had a good Core Phase where they've learned right from wrong?
• Do they have initiative?  Is it time they learn initiative?
• Do they enjoy learning?
• Can they read?
• Are they ages 12-16?

If your youth dislikes learning or just isn't interested, its okay; there's a way to help change that.  Our Practice Scholar Projects are fun-filled, interesting and most of all include a community of peers.  This is especially appealing to the home-schooled youth.
