There are as many different types of homeschoolers as there are different types of families! There are links on other pages of this site that will help you understand more about the different homeschooling paths.
For our family, it was important to us to have a program that would be academically rigorous, allow for creativity and prepare Big A for the places she wants to go in her life.
We probably fall most in the "Classical Homeschooling" model tending a little bit towards "Eclectic!" We love the rigour of Classical Homeschooling but we needed to have a bit stronger science and math program. As a result, our day will actually look like a school day. A number of subjects each day will be taught according to a pre-set timetable. I think as the year goes on we may be able to be a little bit more relaxed but for now I think we will be a little rigid about the schedule.
Big A is a writer, a poet, a reader, a thinker. We hope that we have found curriculum that will help her develop all these skills and help her enjoy them as well.
