UCA Unschooling Info Session

Monday August 26, 2024, 7 PM MDT 9 PM EDT

Come join us for a quick overview of "Unschooling" in Canada and an extensive "learner-centred" Q and A session over zoom!

Unschooling is where children direct their learning and curiosity becomes the curriculum. No motivation problems ever! Parents and children love learning when it is consensual and personalized.

Presented by Judy Arnall, homeschooling parent of 5 unschooled university students/grads.
