How to Begin

Considering Homeschooling More Seriously

Now that you know some of the many benefits of homeschooling, you may be
considering homeschooling more closely. If you are, there is plenty to learn.
Homeschooling is fairly straight forward and can be very simple and flexible. I hope to
help serve as a bit of a guide, however, for those interested in more information.

Where to Start

The first place to start if you think homeschooling may suit your family is to begin
researching. Learn everything you possibly can. While I tried to cover as much as I could
think of in these sections, there is still plenty that I have left out. Read books and visit
other websites. Visit our homeschooling resources section. The wealth of information
that you will gain once you have looked into homeschooling can be phenomenal.

A very important process in the beginning of this research is discovering your state’s
homeschooling laws. Some states are very relaxed, and others have quite a few
regulations. To have the most rewarding experience possible, you will want to comply
with the state requirements. Some states require you to document what your child has
been learning. Some require a certain amount of hours each year to be devoted to the
pursuit of education. Other states require standardized testing every year. There are two
states, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, that require “approval” before being “allowed”
to homeschool.
