Calvert School, the nation's first formal homeschool-curriculum provider, is marking its 100th anniversary with The Centennial Oral History Project, which will compile interviews by homeschoolers into a multimedia disc, Calvert School Presents 100 Years of History.

Gathering interviewees' memories of significant events from the last century, the Calvert School Presents 100 Years of History report “will ensure that some of history's greatest stories are not forgotten and that students will find through them inspiration for the future,” said Kelly W. Painter, director of academic services for Calvert Education Services.

Calvert Day School in Baltimore began offering its curriculum in 1906 to families who could not attend a local school, later introducing a correspondence program. Today, about 2 million students, 4% of the U.S. school-age population, are homeschooled.
