In 2022, the NewEdge Endowment for Alternatives in Education was established to support kids in their efforts to find the right education for them. The purpose of the endowment is to ensure that learning centers are open, with qualified staff and facilitators, prepared to receive students ready to transition from the traditional school structure. The NewEdge Academy's goal is to raise three million dollars in its first round of fundraising.
PUKALANI, Hawaii, Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The remote "schooling" that millions of public schooled kids endured during the pandemic can be viewed as a pedagogic disaster. In fact, researchers found that ZOOM classes were not like being at school at all; others determined that test scores in math and reading fell to a thirty-year low.
Consequently, the demand for quality homeschooling is on the rise. Cautious estimates indicate the practice doubled during the pandemic, and the real number could be three times higher. Now, newcomers to homeschooling are taking advantage of exciting new opportunities to combine it with part-time virtual learning, college casework, neighborhood pods, and informal cooperatives that help relieve the responsibility of primary homeschoolers.
Let's note some famous homeschoolers in addition to the obvious ones including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Leonardo DaVinci, Charles Dickens, and Sandra Day O'Conner... We can add Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Selena Gomez, and all the Jonas Brothers, the list is endless, especially after the pandemic.
Enter, Elizabeth James Johnson, a Harvard graduate and a pioneer of homeschooling who successfully home-schooled her three boys in Los Angeles, CA, Orlando, FL, and Paris, France. After graduating from college, her boys went on to prosper as all kids should. Now, Elizabeth wants to share with parents the secret of her success, so she founded http://www.newedgeacademy.com.
Michael Ferris, a Hollywood screenwriter and client who wrote, The Game, The Net, Terminator 3, and episodes of "The Simpsons" and "Rugrats" and has three kids of his own, states,
Elizabeth, aka Muffy, started off as a wild and exotic animal trainer for movies and television shows, but when she had children, she turned her attention to an entirely different discipline. In fact, Elizabeth anticipated decades in advance, the real need for learning at home which was created by the pandemic. Having successfully homeschooled her own three boys, who all went on to graduate from excellent colleges, Muffy is now sharing her secrets on her Whispering Wisdom With Kids weekly podcast. She's not only great with kids but a brilliant communicator with their parents as well. I can't recommend the "Kid Whisperer" and The Endowment at New Edge Academy highly enough.
