Homeschool Methods & Styles

Homeschoolers cover an entire spectrum of different educational methods. On the one end, you have unschoolers, families that believe in self- or child-led learning. Relying on real world experiences, they learn by living. On the other end of the spectrum, you find parents who have “school at home.” They may set up a classroom environment, use structured curriculums, and rely on schedules to keep things moving smoothly. And of course, there is everything in between. There are as many different ways to homeschool as there are homeschoolers. Explore the different methods, ideas, and approaches that make the homeschooling experience so rich.

Understanding Learning Styles...And Homeschooling Accordingly

Everyone learns differently. When you homeschool, it is very helpful to figure out the different ways that your children learn, process information, and retain knowledge. This will make teaching easier, and also reduces your child's frustration. Both will set you up for success. This guide details the Vark model of assessing learning styles for four identified ways of learning. Vark stands for visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic. It further explains three additional learning styles identified by developmental psychologist Howard Gardner.
