Homeschooling 101

Updated: Dec 1, 2020

If you are new to homeschooling, you probably have a lot of questions. Some of the answers will depend on where you live, others will depend on your style and values, and still others may be universal.

If you live in Massachusetts, I recommend starting on the AHEM website and the MHLA website.

Once you’ve learned the basics, you can read and browse widely to discover what style is the right fit for your family. Some of the methods that have influenced my thinking are: project-based homeschooling, unschooling, leadership education, Charlotte Mason, Waldorf, and Montessori.
