Company Update: Coronavirus / COVID-19
We are now doing both video and in-person sessions, taking all of the necessary precautions to keep everyone safe.
Through the use of video chat and Google Drive software, we are able to help our students catch up and look ahead during this break from school.
Don’t let this period of homeschooling overwhelm you! Let us help!
Bringing Christmas Joy
to Foster Children
Christmas Gifts for Foster Children
in Greater Grand Rapids
The founder of Outside the Box: Creative Tutoring, holds a special place in her heart for helping local foster children. In 2022, Anne and her late husband adopted their daughter, eleven years old at the time, through Bethany Christian Services. Outside the Box will be teaming up with them to provide Christmas presents for foster children in the Greater Grand Rapids area. Please follow the Facebook page, Outside the Box: Merry Foster Christmas for updates. An Amazon wishlist will be posted yearly. We hope to team up with other local businesses as well to have drop sites for presents.
