Learning Coach Spotlight
Casey Province
Casey and her children are new to Home Choice Academy. She is most excited to learn and spend more time together as a family. She chose this program because she wants to be an active member of their learning.
When Casey was a student her favorite subject was science.
We are happy she is here!
