Homeschool Program: Famous Failures Fair

Join us on December 4th for our first Famous Failures Fair.  Homeschool students will select and present on a famous failure who used a positive growth mindset to find success after experiencing failure.  Students will also recreate one of their chosen individual’s failures.

We will be hosting a series of monthly study hall session to help students research & prepare their presentations and replicas.
