Homeschooling creates a flexible environment outside of the traditional school structure that fosters creativity, love of learning, and family closeness.

Because of the current COVID-19 pandemic, millions of families worldwide have been thrust into schooling remotely at home. Some parents look forward to sending their kids back to school, but others have found they prefer schooling at home. They’ve noticed things like, My child has learned more at home with me in the last 2 months than in the past 2 years at school! Or, I kind of like spending so much time with my kids and learning alongside them. Many parents are considering continuing homeschooling beyond the pandemic, and this book is here to help them make an informed decision about their children’s education.

In this book, 24 seasoned homeschooling parents discuss what they love about homeschooling and the challenges they’ve faced. The families come from both religious and secular backgrounds, with children of all ages, and represent a variety of homeschooling styles, abilities and disabilities, marital circumstances, educational achievements, job statuses, races, and socioeconomic levels. Their experiences show there is no one-size-fits-all approach to homeschooling.

Whether you are considering homeschooling or are already on that journey, this book will inspire and encourage you as it expands your concept of education, and what’s possible for you and your children.
