- Enjoying Homeschooling: Tips on Teaching 1st-3rd Graders
by Tamara Eaton
If you and your child haven't enjoyed homeschooling lately then it's time for a change! Homeschooling young children (1st-3rd grades) can either be a joy or sheer drudgery--it all depends upon your method and attitude.
- Graduation Time
by Beverly S. Krueger
Each homeschooler has a special story of talents developed in circumstances unique to them. We’d like to look at a few of the homeschool graduates that we have read about recently. While their individual stories are unique, these homeschool stories are not unique in the sense that they tell the same story of an educational fire lit by parents who want their children to be all that God has planned for them to be.

- High School Priorities
by Beverly S. Krueger
I’ve been part of high school homeschooling workshops in the past and have found one prevailing mistaken understanding each time. Many homeschoolers believe that their goal in high school homeschooling is to meet the graduation requirements of their local high school. They believe if they don’t meet those requirements their child will be unable to pursue post high school education or employment. If their state requires 22 credits, they believe they must come up with coursework for 22 credits.

- Looking to the Future
by Tammy M. Cardwell
My youngest son graduates in May.
These words, when I began homeschooling, were the farthest things from my mind. Teaching two boys to read seemed accomplishment enough; graduating them was a goal for the distant future. Now the future is here.
- My Last Homeschool Graduate
by Beverly S. Krueger
Perhaps its the fact this is number five and last for me. Perhaps its the baby birds just outside my desk window soon ready to flutter from the nest. The fast approach of my youngest daughters last year of homeschool is affecting me differently from the rest.

- Simple Fellowship
by Larissa McKay
That thought might appall you. In fact, had anyone suggested it during our first co-op session most of the moms would likely have been up in arms over the idea. At this meeting, however, it was accepted as a perfectly reasonable request, if not an absolute necessity. Why? Because we finally recognize the need for simple fellowship.

- Vision for the Future
by Michele Hastings
“A picture paints a thousand words.” Leafing through photo albums that acted as portfolios for the boys' assessments in the early days of homeschooling, I began to reminisce. We'd dug the albums out in response to the curiosity our houseguests expressed about homeschooling and what it actually looked like.

Taking Charge: CLEP Tests: An Effective Tool for Homeschoolers
by Larry and Susan Kaseman Added: 6/26/2006
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests are a very effective tool homeschoolers can use to solve many problems that legislation-happy folks might think required new laws. CLEP tests can be used to document high school transcripts and diplomas, strengthen applications for college admission and financial aid, convince potential employers and others that a young person is qualified, and support the claim that a homeschooler should be granted Tier I status when enlisting in the military. In short, when homeschoolers need to demonstrate, in conventional terms, what they have learned and how qualified they are, CLEP tests can be used.
Running Through Walls
by Cafi Cohen Added: 8/15/2004
Like marathoners, most parents who homeschool children through high school also hit the wall. Their son needs to learn algebra, or their daughter wants to study French. It happened to us when our son Jeff reached age thirteen and announced that he wanted to learn to pilot an airplane. Both my husband and I avoid flying whenever possible so the thought of helping Jeff earn his wings appealed to neither of us. Because we lacked interest and knowledge, we hit the wall.

Homeschooling Preschoolers
by Teri Ann Berg Olsen Added: 8/15/2004
As parents, we want what is best for our children because we love them and have a personal interest in their lives. You don’t have to be an expert in early childhood education to know that children learn best in an environment of safety and security, surrounded by people who love and care about them. This means that your home is the perfect place for learning!
