Homeschool Starter Guide

Thinking about homeschooling but have no idea where to start?

Start Homeschooling is a beginner-friendly guide designed to take you from overwhelmed and confused to having a clear, realistic plan for your first homeschool week.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

Understand your options: Learn the different homeschool paths and what to check for in your state.
Know what applies to you: Use the state-specific section to verify requirements before withdrawing or filing anything.
Choose curriculum: Compare online, book-based, secular, faith-based, budget, and flexible options.
Plan your first 30 days: Build a simple start without trying to plan the entire year at once.
Create a rhythm that works: See sample schedules for different ages, multiple kids, work-from-home families, travel days, and more.
Homeschool multiple children: Learn how to combine what you can without running three separate schools.
Use real life as learning: Get practical ideas for turning everyday activities into meaningful learning.
Stay organized: Use checklists, planners, logs, and templates so you’re not constantly wondering what to keep track of.

You’ll also see what we personally chose for our family, why we chose it, what we use for curriculum, and what we’re still learning along the way.

This isn’t about having everything figured out before Day 1.

It’s about knowing your next step.

Perfect for parents who are homeschool-curious, newly homeschooling, or seriously considering making the switch.

Homeschool laws and requirements vary by state. Always verify current requirements through your state’s official education resources. This guide is educational and is not legal advice.
