Create an exciting learning experience that is an ongoing education that will last beyond the schooling years!

Check out local colleges for offerings listed under "continuing ed" and "precollege" courses. Both might waive age and diploma requirements. Internships and apprenticeships can sometimes offer a better higher education than a college, depending on the individual and their goals. Teach your kids how to learn and how to love learning, and it will become a lifelong adventure for them. Remember to keep alive your own love of learning. It's never too late to learn something new, and it's the best cure in the world for sadness, loneliness, grief, desperation, confusion. So ask yourself (and your kids) what you might like to learn -- if you could choose to learn anything at all -- and LEARN SOMETHING NEW!

After seeing this program in action, one parent wrote: "This is a vastly different experience than you will find in most other school/learning situations. For unschoolers this is a continuation for growth/learning in the way that these teens have become accustomed to learning -- a very positive, exciting learning experience."

"The best thing for being sad ... is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then -- to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you. Look at what a lot of things there are to learn -- pure science, the only purity there is. You can learn astronomy in a lifetime, natural history in three, literature in six. And then, after you have exhausted a milliard * lifetimes in biology and medicine and theocriticism and geography and history and economics -- why, you can start to make a cartwheel out of the appropriate wood, or spend fifty years learning to begin to learn to beat your adversary at fencing. After that you can start again on mathematics, until it is time to learn to plough."
