If you have been considering taking on this important endeavor, you may already have discovered a multitude of options for curriculum. You may have also found that everybody has a different opinion of how you should homeschool and what you should use. It can be pretty overwhelming to decide which curriculum to begin your journey with.
We have offered assistance to new homeschoolers for over 27 years.
As a result of our counseling experiences, we have developed our own philosophy especially for parents lacking knowledge in the how-to of beginning to teach their children. It enables parents to begin this task without all the confusion that most new homeschool parents go through.
The first year is what we call the "question and answer" year.
Within it, parents should be able to learn much about how homeschooling works in their own family. They also should learn about which type of curriculum may suit their individual needs. We believe it best to begin with ease. Start with curriculum you, as a parent, are already accustomed to.
Keep it simple!
In the years to follow, if you wish, venture out into some of the other recommended products and methods. Try some of those "multi-grade", "literature-based", "classical" or "unit-study" type programs. By then, you'll be better equipped at handling the job at hand with a solid year of traditional experience under your belt.
We have helped hundreds of first-year parents successfully homeschool with our prepackaged curriculum sets.
Idaho law, and probably most states, require we teach the subjects commonly taught. We offer all subjects commonly taught at any grade level in each prepackaged curriculum set.
In Idaho, you may begin homeschooling at any time during the year.
We can help you get started.
