Our Location:
Miller Homeschool is a sweet country house on an urban street in Philadelphia's historic Germantown community. Our students use its first-floor rooms as a backdrop for diverse learning experiences. We spend much of our time at our dining-room desks engaged in varied learning activities that include traditional lessons, computer learning, and practice work at our large dry-erase board.

You may also find us in the kitchen for a math lesson on measurement or a science lesson on matter. Our living room provides a cozy space for guided reading, watching educational DVDs, or singing along to songs on a states and capitals CD. These are the scenes and sounds of learning at Miller Homeschool, where children get the special attention they need in an intimate, nurturing environment.

The traditional school "busy work" has become lessons on world issues, regular vocabulary enrichment and accelerated math practice. A superior learning institution has grown from a desire for excellence and a need for change. Ringing bells and loud lunch periods have been replaced by intellectual conversations and extra time with the teacher.
