getting started in homeschooling

A frequent inquiry we receive at San Diego Homeschooling is how to get started. Let's take some time to explore this introduction to San Diego Homeschooling. It will help you get going on the right track.

math max!

He's not mad. He's Max. And his multiple personalities are not a disorder. They're exactly what the doctor ordered to cure all math ills by changing the way your child learns.

homeschool conferences

Whether homeschooling now or thinking about starting, a homeschool event can benefit your family of home learners. Should you and your student attend?

nurturing the home educating parent

We know children learn best by example. So why do many homeschooling parents model the worst self-care by not balancing work and relaxation? Here is a remedy to avoid burnout so you can more effectively care for your students and family.

very special learners

If your child is creatively, mathematically, or technically gifted, but struggles with simple concepts, he or she may be a visual/spatial learner. The homeschool environment can accommodate their special way of learning.

By teaching your child independently at home, you are in violation of state law. That is, according to letters issued by the the state and county. Is your homeschool really breaking the law?

hilarious homeschooling moments

Volumes have now been written about homeschoolers. Most are either "how to" manuals or success stories about prodigious and accomplished homeschoolers. This is neither. This is also a lot funnier.

a "living" education

Penny Gardner, author and homeschool mother of six, has been using the Charlotte Mason approach since 1994. She visited San Diego to share her passion for the Charlotte Mason philosophies and methods of home education at the first San Diego Homeschooling seminar.

great books!

Glen Draeger loves books, especially great books. His passion for literature is exceeded only by a desire to share exceptional writing with his students--homeschoolers in San Diego and around the country.

too cool for (public) school?

Studies now report what homeschooling families have known all along: staying home from school is a smart way to play hookey. But won't your kids turn into social mushrooms?
