Home Education or Homeschooling
While both of these terms often mean the same thing, I personally prefer home education. For me home education is a way of life. Yes, we have chosen not to send our children to school. We have also chosen not to replicate a traditional school model in our home. |

A Recent Letter from a homeschooling MumI just want to thank you for your resources for home schooling. I now have purchased just about everything you sell and I couldn't be happier with it. I love the Nuri Mass nature study, it is such a lovely book and your project sheets are a joy for the kids. We are just starting the Aussie Book Traveller. I have purchased most of the books needed, quite a number from ebay which was great. I have purchased the dictation guide as well as the copywork disc and I can't wait to begin these as I always found this area difficult to implement. Suffice to say you have made our homeschooling journey more enjoyable for both mum and kids and I thank you. Donna |
