We are currently an eclectic homeschool, taking inspiration from both the Charlotte Mason and Classical styles. I realized that I don’t really fit into a single box and neither do my kids. We felt it was important for our kids to learn by a variety of methods, no matter their age. We have memorizing, reading, hands-on, and personal interest activities all weaved into our school.

This is our homeschooling story inspired by so many. Other parents’ stories have been an inspiration and provided confidence along our path to making the homeschool decision. As a former working mom, I never planned to homeschool. The appeal of broader learning and flexibility for our family was enticing.
