Homeschooling approach

I am only new to homeschooling and every family I visit seems to have their own homeschooling approach to education. It is leaving me confused. One family uses a set of workbooks and others seem to use no set text. How do I know what I should do?

You are exactly right with your observations. Every family has their own unique homeschooling approach and educates their children in their own unique way. I have been asked where you can buy ...The Homeschool Curriculum..., but there is no such thing! In actual fact, this is the reason why I have written this site - to help each family find their own way. Perhaps The Guide would be a good place to start finding your way.


Your observation also illustrates the truth that each family have their own goals. This is something which you need to decide on as a family.

• One family may have very high academic goals using textbooks or other means to reach their aim;
  
• another family consider character more important than academics;
  
• another family will pursue very different pathways for girls and boys;
  
• another family will follow a set curriculum, hoping to avoid 'gaps';
  
• another family's only aim may be that their children love learning and they will allow their children to pursue their own interests.
