Enjoy your students

Learning is fun!

Be flexible.

Try something new if what you’re doing isn’t working.

Have realistic expectations.

Don’t compare your homeschool to the public school system or even other homeschool families. Your homeschool should be customized to your unique family.

Know you’re not alone.

Connecting to your homeschool tribe will help support and encourage you during hard days. Connecting with your state’s homeschool organization can help connect you to fellow local homeschool families. Don’t go this journey alone!
