How To Transition To Homeschooling From Public School

Transitioning from regular school (be it public or private), to homeschooling is quite an adjustment for not just the children but the entire family.

Ideally, transitioning from one type of educational experience to another should occur over the summer months to give everyone time to adjust, but such a perfect scenario is not always possible.

Transitioning from a typical school environment to homeschooling can successfully be accomplished during any time of the year, even at a moment’s notice to the child.

But, adapting to the massive school routine change as well as viewing a parent as both a parent and a teacher, cannot be accomplished in a day.

Adjusting your expectations of what both the teaching and learning experience will be like during the first few weeks should be number one on your agenda.

About The Homestead Homeschool

Have you spent countless frustrating hours on the internet looking for homeschool curriculum materials to use when teaching your children? I am willing to bet this year's harvest that you didn't find a single one designed entirely with homesteading and prepper families in mind.

Sure, you can find plenty of free printables and how to directions for educational activities on the internet, but then you have to attempt to cobble them together into a comprehensive curriculum program.

When you look down at the massive stack of printed worksheets that took you days to weeks to find, it doesn't take long to grasp how closely they resemble the type of work your child would be doing in public school - which is not at all what you intended when making the important decision to homeschool.

If you don't have the time, patience, satellite internet data, or professional background that permits you to design a homeschool curriculum all on your own, purchasing one from a conventional educational materials provider is always an option. But doing so might require getting a small loan from the bank, especially if you have multiple children in the family.

A generic homeschool curriculum can often cost you up to $1,000 - per grade level. Such curriculum programs don't even always include a teacher's edition to tell you how to use the materials or how to grade your child's work.

The Homestead Homeschool is a comprehensive homeschool curriculum centered around self-reliance education, as well as meaningful, and useful learning concepts.

Every theme unit in our curriculum packages are designed for preschool through high school level students. The theme units can be used when teaching multi-age children or for just one child - saving the upper age level lesson for future years.

The Homestead Homeschool curriculum is designed in topic specific in-depth theme units that offer lessons in all core subjects: reading, math, history, and science as well as art and physical education.

This expansive hands-on curriculum can also doubles as scout-like program alternative that is operated independently by those who sign up for access OR as a family enrichment program.

What Makes The Homestead Homeschool Curriculum Different From Other Homeschool Programs?

As homesteaders and prepping parents, we work diligently to pass down our skills to our children and grandchildren. Our children have long deserved an educational experience created explicitly for them to address the self-reliance needs and goals of our families.

The Homestead Homeschool curriculum helps parents combine their self-reliant, prepping, or homesteading efforts with a comprehensive homeschooling curriculum that teaches not just the academic basics but skills the children will find vital throughout their lifetime.

Homestead Homeschool is a turnkey program filled with hands-on meaningful and useful academic activities as well as fun educational experiences.
When used as a scouting alternative or family enrichment program, the educational theme units are designed as badge manuals to provide children with activities and projects they can work on independently, in a group, and under the guidance of parents, while learning and then honing their emerging self-reliance skill sets.
