A Quote
From Actress Sam Sorbo
“I think that parents are waking up to the fact that children are being indoctrinated away from them and away from their beliefs. And now that parents are waking up to that they’re saying, ‘I cannot abide that.’ That’s the bridge too far for them. You’ll hear people say, ‘well, it’s just indoctrination.’ Well, so is homeschooling because everything you teach your children you are putting in a doctrine, your doctrine. Parents are realizing, wait – their doctrine isn’t just slightly different than mine. It’s actually counter my doctrine, it’s against my doctrine. It wants to tear my doctrine to shreds… It took over a decade for me to finally realize, but my message to parents is: ‘you are enough… I could fail at homeschooling and we’d still end up ahead of the game. We’d still be better off.”
– Sam Sorbo
Every Reason to Homeschool Is Different
“We HAD to start homeschooling!” Daniel
Some parents begin homeschooling unexpectedly. Families may make this decision because of bullying, difficulties at school, medical needs, or other changes in their circumstances. Whatever brought you here, you can take the next step one day at a time.
“I work full time from home, I really don’t have the time to make this work.”
-Christine
Many of these parents lack the time to plan or research homeschooling options for their children, which is where we step in!

Homeschool Styles
What style best fits you and your family?
Traditional
This is doing school-at-home, similar copulatory schooling or private schools. This is the educational style that many parents are most familiar with, new homeschooling families begin their journey by purchasing textbooks and setting up a classroom that mimics the public school setting.

Unschooling vs. Deschooling
Unschooling and de-schooling are just that, getting the public system out of your child so you can start homeschooling anew. It’s not meant to last forever.
Unschooling was first coined by author John Holt back in the 1970’s, as an alternative to schooling. Its described as delight-driven learning, child-led learning, interest-led learning, fun-schooling, life-experience learning, relaxed homeschooling, child-centered learning, and passion-driven learning.
learn more from the articles below:
Eclectic
This style blends multiple approaches together and works better for most families than ascribing to a single defined style.
You might choose to do both unit studies and have a hard curriculum.
Unit Study
Waldorf
This style introduces creative play! It integrates the natural world into all aspects of education.
It de-emphasizes academics and focuses on age-appropriate learning, such as art, music, gardening, and learning different languages. These are considered key focuses in the elementary years.
No textbooks are used in the first several grades and no formal grades are assigned during the elementary years; instead children are assessed by progress made.
Montessori
This is a more classical style like the Waldorf.
It involves a child-centered approach that values each child as a unique individual. Creativity and curiosity are encouraged, which leads students to value knowledge and seek it out for themselves.
“Self-regulation” is a key goal of the Montessori philosophy of education, meaning the ability of a child to regulate his or her conduct in a way that is appropriate to the situation. The Montessori method views a child’s classroom as a preparatory environment for the biggest classroom of all: life.
Roadschooling vs. Worldschooling
Roadschooling involves the ability to learn wherever you want.
Students are able to use the landmarks and attractions they encounter as a means for educational enhancement and exploration.
It involes:
Unscheduled and impromptu learning experiences
The ability to integrate travel with the subjects and themes they are learning about
A desire to help children make connections between educational material and the world around them.
Worldschooling allows you to make homeschool into a global adventure! For families who want to experience and interact with the world around them.
It involves:
Desire to travel
Introducing children to the wider world
A holistic approach
A preference for experiential learning
A need for flexibility
A desire to understand and become sensitive to other world-views
More Than a Decade Ago...
When we first began homeschooling, I had so many questions: Am I capable of teaching my children? Where do I begin? What should I teach? Where can I find support?
Neither my husband nor I had been homeschooled. We simply wanted to give our children a meaningful learning experience, so we took the first step together.
At first, I thought homeschooling had to follow a strict schedule that looked like the schools we knew. I tried to do it all, and before long, our family felt overwhelmed. When we couldn’t finish every page of a curriculum, I wondered if we were falling behind.
That first year taught us something valuable: we could build a homeschool that worked for our children and our family. We learned to make room for curiosity, adjust when something wasn’t working, and enjoy learning together.
That experience is why we created Homeschool 101 and 5 Arrow Homeschool Academy. We want to share what we’ve learned, offer practical tools, and help you feel more confident as you find your own way. You don’t have to figure it all out at once, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Because homeschooling can be hard, just like raising kids can be hard, I am glad to be able to utilize all these resources to keep me motivated and my homeschool family inspired. I don’t feel like I am telling the world my struggles, as I did on Facebook, I feel relieved and more happier with everything happening in my homeschool. Thank you Randomnestfamily!

I was so confused about homeschool! The pandemic was driving my family crazy, so we agreed that I would quit my job and homeschool our three boys.

Let’s face it, homeschool is hard work. I have been at it for 3yrs when I felt like giving up. I needed inspiration. My first thought was to join a FB group, but I don’t like being on FB for personal reasons and Facebook shares to your friends what you post in a group. it […]
Enrolling in 5 Arrow Homeschool Academy was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. We struggled coming from a charter and found there was no freedom to teach how I wanted. So, when I found this homeschool program, I knew that it would be perfect for my family. And it has been! Not only […]
Great Service! Tasha was so patient with me and answered all of my questions. It helped that they had a form to fill out before having a consultation. This allowed me to say what I needed and why, which made for a great experience. Thank you for your help!
