Home School Students Stand Out as Champions Who Win Top Prizes

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) June 20, 2007 -- Home School students from across America stand out as champions, this year, in three of the nation's biggest competitions: The 80th Annual Scripps National Spelling Bee, The 5th Annual National Word Power Competition, and the 19th Annual National Geographic Bee. Each champion praised the flexibility of the Home School Curriculum and the dedicated help of their Home School teachers for their wins.


Evan O'Dorney (thirteen), champion of the much coveted 80th Annual Scripps National Spelling Bee, prepared for his win by juggling balls around the living room; while, being drilled by his Home School teacher - his mother. Surprisingly, Evan was more excited to talk about his love of math at a post-win interview. This well-rounded bright young man is also an accomplished pianist and Tae Kwon Do, level one, black belt. Evan's Home School Curriculum affords him the flexibility to study in his own way, at his own pace and this Home School scholar certainly excels.

In fact, many children excel in the self-paced, family-oriented, Home School environment. On the Scripps official website it listed that out of the 286 contestants participating at this year's Bee, five of the fifteen listed, as this years' top contenders were Home School scholars.

Another top scholar following the Home School Curriculum is Matthew Evans (twelve), winner of the 5th Annual National Word Power Challenge. Kathleen Bordelon, executive director of the contest describes Matthew's command of the English language as "staggering". Matthew praises his Home School teacher, his mother, as the best coach "in the world." Matthew is also a talented sketch artist, pianist and like other young men, enjoys camping and basketball; yet, another example of a young scholar flourishing in the Home School environment.

Caitlin Snaring (fourteen), another notable Home School scholar, achieved a double honor as the first girl in seventeen years to win the 19th Annual National Geographic Bee. The questions at this event require contestants to integrate their understanding and knowledge of sociology, anthropology, history, language, and current events with geography - no small feat. Caitlin praises the open system of the Home School Curriculum for affording her the time to prepare for the contest by combining all her subjects with geography. This young champion is already considering her college options, but at present is concentrating her efforts on competing for the international title at the National Geographic's World Championship, in August.

Another newsworthy young man, Joey Logano, sixteen, made NASCAR history after winning his race in the Featherlite Coaches 200. This Home School scholar won his third Grand National Division race in four career starts by beating Kevin Harvick (winner of the NEXTEL Cup All-Star Challenge and the Daytona 500) by nearly two and one half seconds.

Home School scholars are coming out on top. Their academic prowess, although remarkable, is not the only area in which these children surpass excellence. These students are excelling with the Home School Curriculum because they are allowing themselves the room to grow and learn at their own pace, in their own unique way. As public schools become increasingly overcrowded and continue to lack the funding and resources required to provide a proper education and safe environment; Home School is becoming a more viable, affordable option than ever before.

Citizens' High School provides quality Home School education and a Home School Curriculum tailored to meet the particular needs of each student.
