We currently provide support and programs, using the following remote communication tools:  Google Classroom and Google Meet.  Links and documents are shared via Google Classroom.  Live, video collaboration takes place in Google Meet.


Homeschool consultation for individual parents and cooperatives of families working together to educate their children are available remotely at this time.  In person consultations are currently on hold.


Let us know what you need.  We're here to help - today and always.

What is your passion that brings you joy?  A passion project is a mystical and magical endeavor.  Each passion project taps into your talents, strengths, and interests.  Inspired by a topic that lights you up and gets your heart pumping, a passion project  is yours to choose!  


In this 6-part series, participants will select a task or skill you each wish to develop or learn.  Perhaps you wish to make upcycled fashion, write a short story, draw a comic strip, make a vlog, create an app, make a table, or fight for a cause.  It's up to you!


Participants will conduct research and complete their passion project by our last session.   Students will encourage and support each other, help one another work through obstacles, and keep a journal of project successes and failures.  


Upon completion  of the passion projects, students will create a short presentation to share your journey with us.  You may include videos, photos, or comments/feedback from friends and family outside of the group. 


Those of you who are really committed to your project  will have your presentation shared here  at The Word Wright's Workshop in celebration of your commitment to your passion!


We will use Google Meet, Google Classroom, and other Google apps that best serve your project.


Come join me in exploring your passion!
