Learning Coach Spotlight
Kayla Wolfe
Kayla and her children are new to Home Choice Academy. She is excited to watch them grow in academics, especially reading and seeing them make new friends and memories! She chose this program as the blended option was very appealing as it provides a new learning environment and allows time to be social. When Kayla was a student her favorite subjects were English and P.E.
It’s great to have them this year!
