Children are our future, and it’s up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed．Sadly, today’s children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons （武器）, drugs and gangs．Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers．

Home schools are available to give you choices．Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility, and freedom to create your own schedule．At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours．Thanks in part to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation．A recent study by the ITBS （Iowa Tests of Basic Skills） and TAP （Tests of Achievement and Proficiency） shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average．In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools．

If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “Will home schools really work for my children?”

Fact: A nationwide study using a random（任意）selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test．

Note: The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile．Collectively, the staff at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum．We’ve placed students in the top 2 % of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college．

One study found that of the home schooled adults, 0% were unemployed, 0% were on welfare and 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons．For more home schooling information, call us today toll free at（877）532-7665.
