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 Diffrent…
“We HAD to start homeschooling!” Daniel
Some parents are thrown into homeschooling for various reasons, they are termed “Accidental Homeschoolers.” They can be those who suddenly found themselves in a need to homeschool, when they never expected to be doing it. They include families whose children have experienced bullying, difficulty with school personnel, medical issues, and a variety of other unanticipated situations, like the current world-wide pandemic, that doesn’t seem to be leaving.
“I work full time from home, I really don’t have the time to make this work.”
-Christine

PSP Coordinator, Homeschool 101 Director, and Counselor-
Tasha shares her story.
When we first began homeschooling, I remember the questions we had so clearly:
“Am I capable or qualified for this?” “Where do I start?” “What do I need to teach?” ” Where can I find support?” “How does this work?” “Is this NORMAL?”
Neither of us had been homeschooled before, and my husband and I wanted it to be “perfect.” Without much to go on, we jumped right in.
I was over-homeschooling. For a long time, I thought homeschooling only had to be one way, or look like the compulsory schooling we were familiar with.
That’s not so!
Our first year went so well and we were so happy, but soon, we started to feel burned out.
We found it a struggle to homeschool, prepare dinner, do any kind of home-making and work, let alone take care of ourselves.
We hated being a slave to curriculum, and feeling as if we’d failed because we didn’t get through an entire book.
After that year, we were determined to find new ways.
Now, we enjoy new ways to work and teach, taking away the “slave to school” mentality and allow our kids to fall in love with education, not “compulsory schooling.”
We use our experience to help other homeschooling parents. In our Homeschool 101, we come alongside you as experienced friends and homeschoolers, to share with you all that we have learned and to share the tools we’ve created to help you become more CONFIDENT, RELAXED, and KNOWLEDGEABLE, about everything homeschool.
This is why we started Homeschool 101, to offer parents a place to simply homeschool their kids while having the resources and information they need!

Homeschool Styles
There are many different styles to homeschooling.
What style fits you best?
Take a step back, a DEEP breath, pray, and then observe your children. How do they learn vs. how you want to teach, or not to teach?
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.
See: Homeschool Classroom Tour &
Unschooling
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. You will need to plan what your students will be learning, curriculum, breaks, etc.
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.
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 Studies
Read the homeschool article titled:
What Is a Unit Study? | How To Use a unit Study | Homeschool 101
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 diffrent 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.
Charlotte Mason
This style puts a heavy emphasis on using high-quality literature, which Mason calls “living books,” to teach children. She believed that education should involve the whole person, not just the mind.
Education is “an atmosphere, a discipline, a life.”
Which translates to:
- The abundant use of narrative literature
- Plenty of time spent outdoors exploring
- The development of an appreciation for art, music, and nature
- Journalling, narration, dictation, and copywork
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

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!
The PSP has helped me be able to teach my kids and get the support that I need. I wanted to write this review for other dads like me that have to choose to homeschool instead. There is help out there, people who are not trying to drain you for every penny. I just wanted […]
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.

I have had several special requests for worksheets, and my planning needs, Tasha was so sweet. She sent me an email asking my color scheme and feel, three days later, I received a wonderful email with my worksheets and new planner inserts. I use her planning inserts in a homemade book, to keep me organized. […]
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!
The family bible study membership has been a God send to our family. Our teenager was not interested in Bible study, we felt we were losing him. But after doing a free family Bible study unit from this site, I knew we wanted more. Its not just a study and assignments, but it teaches you […]
Excellent Service First, I just want to thank my consultants for their excellent consultation. I’ve had one from someone else before, but left feeling as if I gained minor details. They were very detailed ordinated and made sure to answer every question I gave them. I am happy to write this testimonial for you all, […]
Help when needed. As a father that now has to work at home, I came across this page on Face Book when I found a devotion. Thank God, the help has been amazing. There is a lot of hard work that goes into those unit studies and articles, thank you. Homeschool Membership was just what […]
Love the freebies! I’m a mom of two kids, a 1st grader and a 6th grader. I love the printables, unit studies, and I love the homeschooling support. I thank you for the opportunity to write a review. I love how everything is so relaxed and not over professional during the consultation, like a good […]
