Much like a personal health coach, the personalization of homeschooling gives you the ability to thrive by meeting individual educational needs with individualized methods. 2.       Good homeschooling experience By now, a lot of homeschoolers are the second generation. While many of us are homeschooling differently than our parents, we are carrying over principles that were blessings to us as children.

If you think it’s impossible for your children to take online courses in the summer, you may want to take a moment to reconsider. There are many benefits of summer online courses for students that may pique their interests. When I first contemplated having my children take summer online courses, I thought it wouldn’t go over so well with them. Honestly, school is a struggle at times. Maybe you have that one student, like I do, who is just not too fond of “school.” It happens.  The reasons I chose to introduce summer online courses to my three children were very different for each one of them. The same may be likely for you.  For my eldest, the reason was easy. My eldest was already was taking a lighter load throughout the year, and homeschooling year-round. We started homeschooling her in high school. She was motivated to graduate early, and summer online courses made good sense for us all. My second oldest is a bookworm and enjoys taking reading or literature summer online courses. Then there is my son. He takes summer online courses because he needs them. He doesn’t need a massive load of courses like the rest of […]

For students who complete their studies online, it is important to be part of a community. Seeing others face-to-face is a valuable way to increase a student’s engagement with their studies. Plus, interaction with others with online community resources is a great way to make school feel less like work. Thankfully, the internet offers a wealth of online community resources for online students. Now, it is possible for students to get personable interaction at home or out of the house. Here are some of the online community resources you can find to help liven your online learning experience. Learn music and share your skills with others Music is a big part of many homeschools. This is for good reason, too. Learning a musical instrument or improvisation equips students with valuable skills and teaches a disciplined work ethic. Not to mention, it’s fun! Practicing and honing one’s skills through an online course makes this an excellent online community resource that provides a multitude of benefits for students. Even a fairly basic instrument such as the recorder instills general music principles that can be transferred to other instruments. With musical skills, students can share their music at family gatherings. Students might even volunteer […]

Online science courses are a great place to go to find the flexibility you need to maximize your child’s educational opportunities. If you’ve ever listened to a homeschooler explain why they decided to make such a “weird” choice in education, you’ve no doubt heard a pitch about the flexibility homeschool offers. Your friend wasn’t lying: homeschooling does indeed offer flexibility far beyond anything conventional schooling can offer. As a parent, you are uniquely positioned to know your child’s specific educational needs and strengths, not to mention personality traits and social and emotional history. Even if you are not personally playing the part of educator – as many homeschool parents do – you are supervising and personalizing your child’s educational path with nothing but the needs of your child and family in mind. Because you do not have to consider an entire class (or directives from an educational board, curriculum, or government), you can create a plan that is best for that child specifically. This powerful advantage is made obvious in science class. Even the flexibility of scheduling, as simple as it sounds, creates a distinct advantage. Think of your own history in conventional schooling, or the stories you hear from […]
