With this snowstorm continuing through Monday evening, we are going to pivot to have a Virtual Fair for Claremont!
I’m actually excited about it.
We’ll have breakout rooms for each education provider. Attendees can move from room to room and chat with the providers they are interested in, or come out to the Main room where I’ll be welcoming people to the Fair. Providers are welcome to hang out in the Main room when there aren’t any visitors in their rooms. We’re not recording it to keep the feeling of an in-person fair.
As people come in, I’ll ask you to sign in, and to fill out a survey before you leave. I’ll provide both links in a direct chat in the Zoom meeting when you arrive. Neither will take very long, and we appreciate you taking the time to do them.
Not quite the same as in person, but it’ll certainly do!
Here’s the Zoom link. Monday Jan 26, 2026, 5-7 PM. You’re welcome to attend even if you’re not in the Claremont/Upper Valley area. Do it just because you can.

Let your friends know about these fairs. Word of mouth is the best way to advertise. Follow us and share our events and posts on Facebook, too.
Spring Fairs
We’re also starting to plan EdOpt Fairs for the spring. Look for fairs in Nashua, Moultonborough, Candia, Goffstown, and other places. Let us know if you want to organize one in your area!
Media Appearances
Learn more about EdOpt through our media appearances. These are interviews or presentations that were recorded. Some are videos, and some are audio from radio interviews.
Please share them with your friends. Help us spread the word that you have options.
EdOpt’s Goals
EdOpt’s aim is to help families understand all their education options, from non-traditional (homeschooling, homeschool co-ops, microschools) to traditional (charter schools, private schools, tech centers, dual enrollment, learn everywhere). Our website lists the education providers options around the state that we know about (please let us know if we’re missing any!) so you can investigate the ones that you’re interested in. EdOpt also provides guidance to help you understand your options. Set up a FREE Education Options consultation today.
