Introducing Homeschooling:
the more excellent way



“When so many in our society act like attending public school is a rite of passage, he is telling people that there is a better way. He simply believes that home education is the best option for creating independent thinkers and nurturing their natural talents and interests.."

~ Nancy Carter

(Speaking about John Taylor Gatto in an announcement at Old Schoolhouse Expo 2010.)


Home 'schooling' is not so much about schooling as about home educating your own children.


For many of us this alone implies a big paradigm shift to be made since we have grown up with schooling and education meaning two different things.

Schooling was done at a school away from home and education was done at home.

In reality homeschooling is about integrating the two, and maybe the word is a misnomer.


The truth is that when you homeschool you educate and everytime you educate you are ‘schooling’.



  • It is a wonderful journey one undertake in faith…the path is not clearly marked.
  • It is a definite COMMITMENT you make.
  • It is not just a good idea, it is so much more than that.
  • It is personal decision you make with your heart, and your head follows later.
  • It is the right thing to do.
