I wanted to thank you for the extraordinary help you've
provided to Allie during her college prep time, especially
last Fall. She could not have earned the
scores she did or qualify to apply to the premier schools
she's been able to without your teaching and guidance. Thank
you so very much for all that you've done for her. Independent
study is not for everyone--it requires a tenacious ability to
be flexible and to be a proper scheduler. But, more
importantly, it demands that the student be diligent and
persistent in order to get her work done. Again, thank you for
helping Allie to develop these special qualities.

When it came time to apply to college, I had no idea what to
do. I knew exactly were I wanted to go,
and what I wanted to major in...but as far as the applications
went, I was clueless. Anita step-by-step helped me through the
process, from printing out the applications to helping me with
my essay to actually sending the applications out to schools.
It was no surprise when I got into my top choice, and into
exactly the program I wanted.
Home schooling with Education Place has definitely benefited
me in my first semester of college. One of the most important
things I learned is how to budget my time, which now allows me
to do my work, study, and even have a little fun. I have also
learned how to go about doing the work, such as how to
properly papers and using study tactics work best for me.

There is a true caring not only about learning but also about
each individual student. The educators find the technique s that
motivate each student as well as the techniques that allow them to
learn. Not all students can be on the 'same page' in their learning
development. The Education Place builds on the page the student is on
and takes her forward.

#1 Education Place possesses the capacity to implement
individual
curricular programs in a fashion which maxmizes student assimilation
in minimal time. This allows the student extra hours each day to
experience non-scholastic education and life less on socialization.

Our daughter, Brianne, started with Anita Kane on a tutoring schedule
before there was a #1 Education Place. Having a tutor and missing
school for circuit was not something that her school in New York was
happy about. We, in turn (from having Brianne work with Anita) found
that our public school left much to be desired. The following year we
enrolled Brianne full time with the newly developed #1 Education
Place. I had my doubts...I was brainwashed by public school about how
schooling should be.
I still remember the end of that first year when we were moving back
to New York for the summer and Brianne was not quite finished with her
school year. I talked to Anita about getting a tutor up north to help
Brianne and motivate her. She said "I think that you'll be
surprised--I don't think that Brianne needs a tutor for what is left,
and she can call me at any time and I will help her."
Well, I didn't think that that would be the situation at all, but
Brianne and Anita proved me wrong. What had happened to Brianne in the
six months that she had worked with Anita was amazing. She was
organized and confident and put herself on a rigid schedule and was
persistent in working through the tough stuff--not calling Anita
unless she had to. She requested that I take her to the stationery
store and post office to get her much-needed supplies and stamps, and
mailed her work out promptly! What can I say? I was sold, and in
January Brianne will be graduating and is better prepared for college
and life after high school than she would have been otherwise.
Thank you Anita!

#1 Education Place helped my daughter's
grades improve from C's and
D's to A's and B's. Her attitude towrds school and learning has also
improved. After one year at #1 Education place she is planning to go
to college, a goal she did not have a year ago.

#1 Education Place is very flexible in their school day scheduling. Our daughter
has been there for 4 years now. She gets her work done
by 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon, 4 days each week, which leaves time
for her riding, polo, and other activities, which are so important in
her life as well as ours.
She likes the interaction between the middle school and high school,
and likes the freedom to go to different places for lunch.
Judy Blake and her assistants are very personal, and clearly like
helping kids.

The primary classroom provides a stimulating yet nurturing environment
for learning. The resources and manipulatives available are first
