Do you have to be a homeschooled student to take Homeschool Spark courses?
No. But I was a homeschool mom for seventeen years. Once a homeschooler, always a homeschooler, I guess.
Even more, you don't have to be a student at all. Adults are welcome to take the video courses as well. The courses aren't childish in their approach.
I love the concept of self-directed learning. I created these courses to provide quality video courses on software, programming, computer graphics, writing, and more. The courses are clean and wholesome, with no objectionable content. That's getting harder to come by in today's world.
