CandleStar Educational Services provides simple, affordable educational support to families in and around the Monadnock region.
I believe that every parent is responsible before God to oversee the education of their children–and that the goal of that education should be the equipping of those children with the skills they will need in order to effectively serve God.
However, as a portfolio evaluator, my job is not to critique teaching styles, organizational skills, or educational choices. I simply evaluate whether or not I believe that a student has fulfilled the minimum educational requirements of New Hampshire state law.

Once again Staples is planning a Teacher's Appreciation Day. This year it's Saturday, August 22nd. They do different things each year, but last year they passed out "Big Thanks" flash drives. And that's just handy :)
Summer Reading Programs are Here!
- Always start your summer reading at your local library! This year's statewide theme is "Summertime…and the Reading is Easy", though local libraries can branch out independently. Check your library's schedule early as they often have crafts or other special events throughout the summer.
- Visit TD Banknorth's website to print out forms for your children (ages 18 or under). They read ten books and have $10 deposited into their account... Nice!
- Grades 1-6 can complete the Barnes & Noble summer reading program and earn a free book (from their selection). This year's program is sponsored by Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
- If you're 12 or under you can check out the Borders Reading Challenge. The prize is a good deal: a $4.99 prize from their selection. Not the most generous program, to be sure, but one of their options is a Bunnicula collection... and who doesn't love that?
Soap Making! I will be hosting an "Introduction to Traditional Soap Making" class, with Alisa Andrews of Flaming Maple Herb Company, on Saturday, October 10th. Yes, it's a long way off, but plan to take some time (1-4pm) and enjoy an afternoon of old-fashioned soap making. Moms, this is your chance to learn something new. The registration deadline is September 19th, but do let me know if you're interested!
I love Sonlight! I've been enthusiastic ever since I ordered my first Core seven years ago... If you're in the area, thinking of ordering, and would like to take a peak at my Sonlight bookshelves, drop me a line and we can set up a date. If you're already planning on ordering, please consider ordering here. Full disclosure: By clicking through CandleStar Services, you'll get all of your standard discounts plus I'll get a happy little commission... yeah!

Of course it goes with out saying that I am not a lawyer.
Nothing on this site should be construed as legal advise.
Please read the NH homeschool law (or at least a summary) for yourself.
