Helping homeschoolers develop social skills and expand their horizons with a virtual world

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Allschool, an innovative online education platform, is set to introduce its one-stop learning solution for homeschoolers at the Great Homeschool Convention that is scheduled to run from June 16th through 18th in California. As one of the most popular homeschooling events of the year in North America, this convention will see the company bringing its student-centered online education platform to parents seeking a flexible and interactive e-learning service.

The diverse selection of globally 12-themed courses and more allows homeschoolers to discover intriguing facts about different nations and broaden their minds. At the same time, using Allschool’s self-developed class tool “speak in the center of the stage” and other interactive features, homeschoolers can make friends from all over the world without stepping out of their house. They can also communicate freely in a relaxed environment and improve their social and emotional skills.

Allschool’s one-stop solution is designed to allow parents to take full advantage of the flexibility that homeschool offers while giving learners access to premium online lessons. A myriad of course options to supplement the standard curricula are offered which gives homeschoolers the freedom to individualize the curriculum structure. Besides, all the courses are delivered by accredited and experienced teachers with diverse educational and professional backgrounds.

“We are thrilled to unveil our new home education solution “Homeschool Package” at this long-anticipated event that attracts countless leading online education providers and homeschool families across the continent each year. It is built upon our excellent educational resources and extensive experience in creating a fun and interactive online learning platform to give kids an opportunity to experience the world’s culture by making friends with students worldwide. The solution features 12 classes designed and delivered by experienced homeschool teachers to fit different children’s learning styles, skill levels, and interests, enabling them to experience a new approach to homeschooling learning,” said Jacob Kantor, the US regional business development manager of Allschool, making an announcement at Great Homeschool Convention.

The move comes as more US families start opting for homeschooling as a solution to fill the gaps in their children’s education due to the pandemic. The National Home Education Research Institute has recorded a significant increase in the number of families shifting to homeschooling and estimates the figure continues to rise at the rate of 2%-8% each year.

With its flexible learning environment, online Allschool programs not only allow students to select desired subjects to achieve their unique goals but also empower them to learn at any time, any place with online, self-paced courses.

In an interview with Ms. Homa, an Allschool homeschool teacher who has also worked as an English, Art, and History teacher in a public school for 18 years, she said, “it is important for homeschool children to have peer discussion and have access to different opinions around the world. The greater diversity of the online education platform can strengthen their social connections or skills.”

“We understand that homeschool parents are constantly looking for a new way that let their children better interact with other students. With this in mind, Allschool strives to create a space where learners from all over the world can come together to find common topics and interests, make friends and have fun,” said Jack Shan, Allschool Co-Founder.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
