Are you looking to engage your students in a fun way of learning Geography? The National Geographic Geo Bee is a national competition that over 10,000 educators across the country have enrolled their students in annually. We are now offering the chance to test it out in your own classroom.


For the first time ever, National Geographic is releasing the official contest materials from the most recent Geo Bee to give schools with grades 4th-8th a one-time opportunity to experience the National Geographic Geo Bee for free! The Free-Bee materials include the complete set of questions from all the rounds, so that you can have your own school champion. (Please note, school champions of the Free-Bee are not eligible to advance on to the state and national competitions.)


If you’d like to take advantage of this one time opportunity, complete this brief form (to verify that you are a qualifying school), and we will send you a PDF of the 2015 contest materials. Then, consider enrolling your school in the official 2016 contest in August. Materials will be available until May 15th, 2015.

Complete the Free-Bee School Application Form and let the quizzing begin!

Summer and Fall Online Courses for High School Seniors and Juniors

Dear Homeschooling Families,

My name is Dr. David Byers—a homeschooling father, homeschool author, and college professor with years of experience developing and teaching courses in numerous subject areas. I’ve been serving the educational needs of homeschooling families for several years now with my numerous courses in English, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences for grades 7-12.

I am available to help you fulfill your child’s educational needs this summer in the following ways:

1. Need last-minute high school credits for college?

a. The end of spring seems just around the corner, which means some homeschooled high school students will be graduating and perhaps preparing for college. As you prepare your child’s high school transcript, if you find that your child is short on credits in one or more subject areas, I am happy to help with a wide variety of single-semester courses built around your family’s summer schedule!


2. Need summer courses to help your child get caught up or ahead on credits?

a. For students looking to graduate a bit further down the road,summer is a great time to get caught up or even to get ahead on credits for junior high and high school. I offer a wide variety of single-semester and full-year courses to meet your family’s educational needs. The courses can be built around your family’s summer schedule so you don’t have to worry about missing any learning or points while on vacation!


3. For those of you looking ahead to fall, it’s a good time to find out what courses I offer that will help your children through grades 7-12. One-semester (1/2 credit) and two-semester courses (1 full credit) are available in English, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences. There are numerous varieties of courses in each subject area to meet your child’s educational interests and needs.

I invite you to take a look at my website: http://www.leadershipforyou.net/Courses.html to see the courses I design and teach for homeschooled students for grades 7-12 in English, Social Sciences, and the Natural Sciences.

Please feel free to email me with any questions at all: dbyers3@centurylink.net

I look forward to serving your family’s educational needs.


David Byers, Ph.D.
