I am so thankful for the guidance of PACESC over our homeschooling journey. Phyllis responds quickly and is always so helpful in helping me understand the why. Her transcripts are excellent, organized and timely. We have been with PACESC for 11 years now and will be graduating our first senior next year!

While homeschooling four students over the past four years (two in high school, one in middle school, and one in elementary), I have had several questions; all of which I posed to Phyllis and all of which promptly received answers. Give PACESC a try, and it will be of immediate and tremendous benefit.
