3 Simple Steps To Get You Started

1. First and foremost, I would recommend that you Decide on YOUR WHY!!

 

We all choose to Homeschool for many different reasons. Before you begin your journey of homeschooling, it is important to identify why you are making this decision.

 

It may not seem important now, but you want to know this so that when the going gets tough (which they will sometimes), you can go back and lean on the foundation of the reason WHY you chose this most important journey for your family.​

2. Secondly, familiarize yourself with your state's homeschool laws.

 

Remember the old saying, "start as you mean to go?" It is extremely important that from the very beginning of your Homeschool journey, you know the laws of your state when it comes to homeschooling since not all state laws are created equal.

 

The homeschool laws that exist in California where my family and I reside, are probably extremely different than those in your home state.

 

Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) has for years been our family's resource for all things legal when it comes to homeschooling. 

 

The Home School Legal Defense Association is a United States-based organization that was established more than 20 years ago back in 2000 to help homeschooling families through legal representation, and education about each state's homeschool laws..

​

So, if you are wondering about your state's homeschooling laws, you can find information by state readily through HSLDA.

 

For a small yearly subscription you can rest assured during your homeschool journey that you have an legal organization behind you throughout your homeschool journey.

 

I can speak honestly and personally when I say that this resource has been a constant since our early days of homeschooling, and I would recommend that EVERY homeschool family spend the $135 (as of this writing) annually.
 
 
3. Third and finally, choose a Curriculum

 

The choices are wide and varied when it comes to choosing a Curriculum.

 

No need to be overwhelmed, as much has been done by those that came before you when it comes to reviewing all the possibilities for Homeschool Curriculum.

 

Choosing a Curriculum is a very personal thing and has a lot to do with 1. The culture and characteristic of your family

2. The learning style or capacity of your child(ren)

3.  Your teaching style

4. How much time and hands-on involvement you plan to have in the homeschool process
