The History of Homeschool.com
Homeschooling is the most exciting movement in education today! However, it’s not exactly new; up until 1850 most children in America were educated at home. At the turn of the century and into the 20th-century mandatory school attendance became the norm. However, the past 25 years have seen a revival in homeschooling with an explosion of popularity in recent years. If you haven’t read all about homeschooling, you might want to!
In 1998, Homeschool.com was born and dedicated to empowering parents to create the ideal learning environment for their child at home! Armed with the knowledge that every child is unique and needs a unique education, we encourage you to customize your homeschool to fit those needs. That’s why Homeschool.com creates amazingly beautiful free tools for your homeschool. We help you lighten the load so you can focus on the big stuff!
Homeschooling is poised for explosive growth, and with that growth comes the responsibility to embrace the incredible diversity of families that choose to homeschool. Homeschool.com supports each family’s unique approach to preparing their children for success! And, you’ll find help for all types of homeschoolers on our website. Explore Homeschool.com and let us help you homeschool happy… from the beginning, with getting started homeschooling all the way to helping your young adult launch into the world!
