Reasons to Homeschool

Every family situation is different, and your path to homeschooling will not look like mine. But when we begin to share our doubts, fears, and the risks we take, we feel a little less alone.

Here are some of the most common reasons why parents decide to homeschool:

Kids struggle in certain subjects and need more support
Kids excel in certain subjects and need time and space to perform well
Schools in the area cannot give my kids what they need
Too much negative influence in the public school system
Cannot afford higher quality education of private schools
Better connection / bonding / family time
Freedom to travel and more time to pursue interests
Military family, moves often and needs continuity in schooling

Some families transition, some start homeschooling from the beginning. Wherever you start this beautiful journey, you are not in it alone.

One of the most important steps we ever took was to surround ourselves with other homeschooling families. We needed people who had walked this road before us.

If you are not sure about choosing to homeschool, it’s okay. You will probably be unsure every day. The only thing we can be sure of is the strength God gives us to keep choosing the best for our kids. When He calls you to homeschool, He will equip you for that calling.
