Alessa homeschooled her two children since Kindergarten, with her oldest son entering full-time college in Fall 2008.

community based learning.
With a Masters in Education from Johns Hopkins University, Alessa is uniquely qualified and trained to provide educational
testing, curricular support and general consulting to homeschool families and institutions looking for a new way to approach
education. Alessa's specialty in gifted education, with a focus on affective development, has allowed her to
work with schools and organizations across the country who seek assistance in developing new programs. |
