Step One: Homeschooling Goals

When you design your own Homeschooling Approach, you firstly need to understand your homeschooling goals. Since there is SO much that can be taught, we need to clearly define what the desired outcome should be, and then plan the course of study to lead towards it. Everyone needs to know where they are headed, and so, as parents with the mammoth task of leading and teaching our children, we need to be sure we are focused on the right path and assess what our homeschooling goals are.

• What sort of individuals are we raising?


• What are we raising them for?


• What is the purpose of education?

These are the questions we must address.

To guide you through the process step by step, please follow the links below:

• Let's first look at the Definition of Education
• Thinking through Educational Goals.
• Setting Goals for your family.
