Coming Soon to the Near West Suburbs of Chicago
Elaine Luther
A committee is forming now to create a self directed learning center in the western suburbs of Chicago. The founders are a homeschool mom and a would-prefer-not-to-homeschool-if possible mom, whose child would benefit from a customized education. Founder Elaine Luther has successfully a founded not-for-profit homeschool co-op and has additional not-for-profit experience, both as board and staff. Her children's need for a place to learn and socialize with others makes her passionate about creating this new place.
