I KNOW THAT GETTING STARTED WITH THE HOMESCHOOL PROCESS AND WONDERING “What do I need to homeschool my child?” IS COMPLETELY OVERWHELMING.

 

SO . . .

Let’s start out with a quick overview of what you need to homeschool, whether you’re wondering how to homeschool in Texas, how to homeschool in California, or about homeschooling in Germany (or anywhere else) . . .

How do I start to homeschool my child?

To answer “How do I start homeschooling?” you’ll need to:

  1. Review the homeschool laws for your state (or country). Homeschooling laws vary by state (and it is illegal to homeschool in some other countries outside of the U.S.).
  2. Understand parent qualifications for your area. Parents are not required to have a college degree to homeschool, but most states have a minimum education requirement (like a GED).
  3. Figure out your child’s learning style. Everyone learns differently and observing your child’s learning style right from the start will save you time, money, and frustration.
  4. Choose a homeschool learning method. There are many homeschooling methods like Charlotte Mason homeschooling, Montessori, unschooling, classical homeschooling, eclectic homeschooling and more. Understanding your homeschool method will assist you in choosing your curriculum or courses.
  5. Select curriculum or courses. There are many options for homeschool curriculum and online courses that will assist you in home education.
  6. Deschool your child (and yourself!).
  7. Find a homeschool support community. When you’re just starting out in homeschooling, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Having a homeschool community–online or in-person meetups–is extremely helpful.

We’ll discuss all of this (and more!) in more detail, so keep scrolling!


 

Ok, now that you’ve seen a quick look at what you’ll need to do to get started homeschooling, let’s get into some more detailed explanations that will walk you through the process of how to homeschool in five easy steps!

 

When you’ve finished reading this how to start homeschooling info, you’ll know more about:

• REQUIREMENTS FOR HOMESCHOOLING YOUR CHILD

• QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT HOMESCHOOLING

• HOW TO TRANSITION YOUR CHILD FROM TRADITIONAL SCHOOL TO HOMESCHOOL

• OUR RECOMMENDED HOMESCHOOL “CURRICULUM” FOR GETTING STARTED

• AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOW TO START HOMESCHOOLING YOUR CHILD TODAY

& MORE!

However, before we get started with any of that, I have a question for you:

Why do you want to homeschool?

I like to ask people to reflect on their reasons so that they’re clear on WHY they’re choosing homeschooling. Taking full responsibility for your child’s education is serious business and I want you to do it for the right reasons.

But, don’t be scared!

Chances are, homeschooling is something you’ve been thinking about for at least a little while now.

Right?

Maybe you want to homeschool because of a poor experience at public school?

Or, maybe you’ve become more frightened with the current climate in our society?

Or, maybe you realize that you can better meet your child’s needs than a traditional educational system?

Whatever your reason, there are many other parents homeschooling for the same ones (and a variety of other reasons you may not have even thought about)!

And, if you’re like me when I first started, you may be wondering if you’re going to be alone in this journey? Or, if you’re going to have a hard time finding “socialization” for your kids. Or, how do your “test” your homeschooled kids or tell what they’re learning.

And, maybe you’re even wondering what kind of people homeschool?
