Making the Choice to Homeschool

Deciding to homeschool is a big decision! Numerous factors affect this decision and it can be intimidating. We have a lot of resources available on our Homeschool Hub - and a few here to get you started.

Getting Started

Getting started is just about taking that first step. This part does not need to be hard - it needs to be fun for all of you.

Tips for Homeschooling

As experienced homeschoolers, we have a few tips that may help you have time to yourself while still enriching your children’s lives.

Consider a Co-Op

A co-op is one huge way homeschooling can become the life you always dreamed of for your children. Co-ops are not one-size-fits-all, so be sure to join or start a co-op that will serve you best.

Next Big Steps

There are many ways to homeschool, your educational style and approach should be unique to your family. No matter what you choose, there will be gaps in your child’s learning - every educational model does. Let this free you up to guide your child in the way that fits his/her interests and passions.
