Choice Navigator Services

What is a Choice Navigator?

A Choice Navigator is an experienced, knowledgeable, and credentialed professional who provides homeschooling parents with the guidance and support they need. As the parent, you remain in control of your child's education, but with a Choice Navigator by your side, you’ll have expert help to navigate the complexities of homeschooling. Whether you need advice on curriculum, understanding scholarship options, or overcoming challenges, your fees for these services may be reimbursed through your child’s scholarship, or paid directly from your EMA scholarship account.

Homeschool Reimbursements & Scholarships:

Navigating the reimbursement process with Step Up For Students, FTC-PEP, or FES-UA scholarships? I’m here to ensure you understand how to access and use these resources to support your child’s education.

Support for Special Needs:

If you have a child with special needs, I can provide tailored advice to help you create an effective homeschooling experience. I can also guide you through available scholarships and funding options.
