Homeschooling & Online Learning Support

Homeschooling might not be limited to what you think it is!

There are a vast array of different ways to “homeschool” a student and many scenarios where homeschooling may be better for your child.
Homeschooling does not necessarily mean that your student is schooled at home. There are many avenues that one can reach a goal without placement in the public or private school environment. For example, if your child is struggling in high school at any level there are a plethora of ways to assist that child.

Some reasons why parents homeschool:

Students can learn more about what they really care about.
Students don’t deal with cliques or bullying, or other safety and health concerns parents and kids may have.
Social media gives kids a way to form lasting friendships.
The classroom can be limiting, where many feel homeschooling and online forums open up the whole world
Different styles of learning can be more easily accommodated, one-on-one and at a student’s desired pace
A child may have a health issue where going to school is not easy or possible
A child may be training at a high level of (travel) competition for a sport, theater, or another endeavor
A family may travel extensively

We are happy to sit down with you to answer your questions and go over your options.

The Student Den has taken hundreds of kids through their high school graduation, supporting curriculum and study habits to ensure that a student gets the most from their homeschooling. We make it so that you don’t have to sweat trying to remember honors trig when they may need support, nor do you have to brace for arguments on whether they have completed their daily assignments. Not only do we help you with curriculum choices, but also platform choices, supportive tools, tutoring and outright lesson teaching where necessary, and we can oversee their progress entirely – from wherever you may live.

Whatever you need, we can personalize a program suitable for the unique needs of your child. Let’s talk! 561.213.3794

Meet Our EmpowerMates ^TM

The EmpowerMate^TM is a student the same age as your child, or just a few years older, who is a peer mentor.

We added the element of the EmpowerMate^TM for students who need assistance — whether homework help, study skills, or just plain old emotional support — because we found students want to do better for other students than if it were a parent or another teacher. It's that simple.

Angelo Questo has been and remains my favorite colleague. His experience brings a wealth of knowledge to any student he works. He highly competent in all areas of school counseling, but his true passion is college advising. He is humorous, compassionate and relatable to all those around him. His reputation is extraordinary and his hard work consistently results in positive student outcomes. I most admire that Angelo incorporates a family approach when working with students; he treats his clients as if they were his own family. That says a lot about his character and the trust he develops with those he works with. I would highly recommend him to any high school student seeking the advice from a man who knows his way around the college landscape.

Mr. Questo has been a tremendous help through the entire college process so far. His connections, competency, experience and advice have gotten me so much farther than the college counselor that is provided by my school. He and I literally spent 4 hours in one session to get as 3 applications completely done. When I left our meeting, I felt relieved that I had finally begun the process of applying to college and will be hearing from the colleges soon. We only have a few more applications and essays to finalize, so I should be done by the middle of October. Thanks to him, I can rest easy knowing that I have represented myself in the best possible light. He is with you every step of the way from essay revisions to application submission. I feel very fortunate to work with Mr. Questo and would definitely recommend him to my friends.

Mr. Questo started as my guidance counselor, but ended up becoming much, much more. I would consider him my friend. While he worked at my high school, he was someone I would easily be able to access if I needed help with something academically, socially or emotionally. Without Mr. Questo, my high school experience would have been much more difficult. I was upset to see him retire this year, but knew his work with students was far from over. If you
decide to work with Mr. Questo, he will totally engage with you and help you attain your college goals. As soon as I began the college application process, I reached out to him and he responded to me immediately. Before I knew it, we had completed 4 applications in which I am now awaiting decisions and it was only the middle of September. He is a firm believer in getting the application in as early as possible. Whatever the question or whatever time of day I always get an answer right away. Mr. Questo has significantly made a difference in my life in many ways, especially with helping me navigate through the college application process. I am very appreciative of his knowledge, expediency, and his concern for my personal well-being. I would enthusiastically recommend him to any high school student seeking admission to college.
