How has everyone's Summer been? September always suggests new starts to me so despite not really following the school years we have lots of new topics and units starting next week. Does any one else get like this? Probably down to years of being in the institution!!! But please do share us with us all what you're looking forward to exploring next month!! #homeeddad #homeedmum #homeedplanning #learningfromhome #homeeducate #homeeducationrocks #homeeducationlife #homeedideas #homeedLA #homeeducationadventure
What do Eddison, Roosevelt, Agatha Christie and Ryan Gosling have in common? They were all home educated 🙂 Franklins mother taught him (they couldnt afford tutors and he didnt thrive at school) Laura Robson, Emma Watson, Sir Patrick Moore - all different styles of home education, some for their whole education, some at various time in their education. The list is endless! www.educationalfreedom.org.uk
We are semi structured. We chose this style after trying formal HE which for us was stressful & ended up with no-one learning. One day I was ill and couldn’t teach so my youngest headed off and started watching what he wanted to watch. He learnt so much that we never went back! Every day we do maths & typing and we have an English tutor once a week (for dyslexia). After that we were child led and no day looks the same. Wednesdays we do forest school locally and learn tons of life skills there. Depending on his interest for the week or day we might learn about science through experiments or delve into history through documentaries. In the car we listen to podcasts about history, autobiographies, science you name it - depending on the interest. We’ll take in an art museum or visit a national trust venue or we might go to a local farm open day. We might pick up something we were struggling in maths and try learning it through practicals. Often he’ll settle down to investigate and learn on his own without realising it. Currently he’s delving deep into versailles and covered the French Revolution, Napoleon, the architecture and how it maintained itself. Tomorrow we’re planning on spending the day at the beach. #educationalfreedom #homeeducation #semistructured
During lockdown many kids struggled with learning subjects at home. One of the greatest events we discovered was watching the Royal Society perform experiments that could be created at home. It transformed my eldest view on science and he started to understand theories a lot more. With the heat this summer we thought we’d share one of our favourite ones.
We have many decades of hands on Home Education experience between us and many years as a professional support service.
Our team is made up of people from all walks of life, and all styles of Home Education.
We never have, nor will we ever, charge Home Educators a fee to access our website, personal support or anything else.
However, we do have costs such as web hosting, so feel free to donate.
Our aim is that our website contains everything you should need to know.
Beyond that we have a Facebook Page where you can connect with other Home Educators and our amazing admin team. We also have the option to contact us, for those times where you don’t have Facebook.
