What Makes Homeschooling Unique?
Homeschooling is a vibrant way to learn that feels like a grand adventure. It’s not just about teaching at home—it’s about embracing a lifestyle bursting with flexibility, freedom, and the thrill of discovery. Having homeschooled my own five children, I can tell you it’s a uniquely personal way to spark a love for learning.
Education Redefined
Education doesn’t take place in a particular building or at a specific time—it’s an ongoing experience that spans a lifetime. It’s a gleam that inspires a question; a question that opens a new world or way of thinking. Education is not just about textbooks or tests; it’s about curiosity, exploration, and connecting the dots between what a student already knows and what they have yet to discover. Books and tests are necessary parts of learning, but they should only be a small part of the overall experience.
Amusement Park Learning
Many families will be making the pilgrimage to an amusement park this summer. These park experiences are full of excitement, no doubt. However, with a little planning they can become a vibrant classroom as well. This summer, take a trip to an amusement park and spark curiosity and learning across all ages in the process. Here’s how to weave a bit of learning into your family’s next trip to the amusement park.
A Restful Summer Leads to a Better Year
