What Parents Are Saying:

I am so impressed with the strides my children have made in Laura’s classes. Their writing skills have improved exponentially in every way. They have learned to read critically, reason effectively, and present their ideas clearly. And, importantly, they have truly enjoyed her classes and been
motivated to do their best work. I highly recommend Laura. She is a gifted teacher.

“Classes with Ms. McWhite were the highlight of the week for my twins. The
amount of work was just right for an engaging and rigorous class, without being over the top crazy! Laura is engaging and passionate about both
writing and her students, and it shows. Her classes are a great option for your high school writing needs.”
— Kara Altman, Parent
Laura is a fantastic teacher. You can tell she truly cares about the kids and loves what she is teaching. My 16 year old son enjoyed her class. She connects well with the kids, and is positive and
has a good sense of humor. She had a great balance of teaching and improving his skills without stressing him out. We would definitely recommend her classes.

Great Writing and Literature Classes!

Miss Kristin does a really good job explaining the connection between what kids are learning in class and the homework assignments. My girls have done varied and interesting writing assignments this year in her writing class. The kids are also digging deep into literature and having good discussions and deeper exploration into thematic studies than I expected, especially from middle schoolers.

Fabulous Program!

Eagle River Homeschool has provided a much needed homeschool helper for families in our area. My children have loved PE, high quality art classes, and a variety of detailed science classes.

Not only have they enlarged their peer group by making connections, they have developed personal responsibility by moving classes in the building independently and broadened their skill base.

The teachers have excellent communication and my kiddos really like them all!

Opportunity for Independence

We have enjoyed having classes at the Mac Center. The location is very convenient for us and having multiple classes in a row allows my child to practice switching between classes and remembering their own schedule. We have liked the elective-type courses that were offered. We love having homeschool PE there and then going to fun classes. It’s been a great opportunity for my child to socialize and make friends and get some time outside the home.
— Rachel, Eagle River
Enjoyable Experience
This was our first semester trying out Eagle River Homeschool. We only took one class which was the 4th grade writing workshop class taught by Kristin Hillis. It was a really enjoyable experience the teacher was awesome and my son really learned a lot. Cannot wait to sign him up for Fall and hopefully get him into more classes.

What Students are saying

Ms. McWhite is a passionate and dedicated teacher who very clearly cares about helping her students succeed and develop their own
unique writing style. She gives personalized feedback often, which is what helped me discover my weak areas and improve on them. Thanks to her, I am now far more confident in my writing skills and technique, and feel
ready to tackle an AP English class this year.
— Genevieve Altman
Ms. Laura has been my English teacher for two years now, and I’ve loved every minute! Learning with her has not only strengthened my writing skills but also increased my knowledge of history and how it impacts the modern world. Using a variety of assignments, from oral presentations to engaging games to writing projects, she teaches different life skills that build confidence and character. Ms. Laura is a wonderful teacher and one of the rare people who possesses the ability to connect with her students both in and out of the classroom. She is truly a diamond in the rough!” -Rory Wilde, Student

I like your teaching style a lot.” - Happy High School Student
