WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID . . .

“I attended Transcript Boot Camp in Downers Grove today offered by Inge Cannon and Education PLUS, a Christian company that offers lots of organization aids and helps for homeschoolers, particularly with older kids. In my twelve years of attending conferences and listening to speakers, I have only heard a handful who were truly exceptional. Mrs. Cannon carried a message that was so profound and yet so simple, based in common sense and grounded in solid experience…. Every homeschooler would benefit from this content, regardless of whether you unschool, design-your-own or use a turn-key program.

“I have listened to a lot of people talk about high school and homeschooling, but never anyone with such thoroughness, wonderful humor, realistic observations and experience, and with such eloquence. Mrs. Cannon discusses some things you can do with your junior high kids, and it really isn’t too early to hear her talk even if you are still working with kids in grade school. Don’t miss this seminar!”
Pattie K. in Lake County, IL

“I want to tell you how valuable your Transcript Boot Camp was to me. It was extremely important to me to understand the WHY and WHAT about this entire process, and you fulfilled that for me.”
Mary Lynn F. in Hickory Hills, IL

“This seminar provided so much more than educational content. It was truly life-changing for me. I’ve had so many reservations about homeschooling into the high school years, and Inge made it so realistic and manageable that I’m now exited about it.”
April B. in Cedar Park, TX

“I am a 19-year-old homeschool graduate. Your seminar helped me so much. My college scholarship sponsor wrote the following to me when I submitted my paperwork: ‘You have presented a superb, excellent letter and resume—everything is so well set up. You get an A+ from me. In fact, I am awed.’ Without you, Mrs. Cannon, I certainly could not have impressed the reviewer this way! Thank you so much.”
Sara E. in Melbeta, NE

“After hearing your seminar, the Lord has changed my homeschooling. We now see the end and know what we must do to get there. Through prayer, dedication, and learning from you, I have more peace and quiet determination to raise my children for the Lord than ever before.”
Deborah S. in Rome, GA

“I’m so thankful for Transcript Boot Camp! This seminar definitely took the intimidation out of making up a transcript. Thank you!”
Paula Z. in Southbury, CT
