Homeschooling the Beit HaChatulim Way

Last updated ....

We homeschooled our children from June 1996 through August 2008, long enough for the youngest one to go from first grade through high school. The older ones started in 3rd, 5th, and 9th grades, respectively and all homeschooled through high school and went on to college. It has been an interesting journey. There were many days when we did amazing things; there are other days when we seemed to be treading water. Because every family's homeschooling experience is unique, we hope to share with you some of the hows and whys of our personal homeschooling odyssey.

• Why We Homeschooled -- Some thoughts on education and learning, reviews of some of the books we found useful in our journey toward learning at home.
• The Nuts and Bolts of our Homeschooling Experience -- Our goals for education, home education plans, what we thought homeschooling would be like, what we learned about learning in the process, how some unit studies have developed -- based on musical theater, science fiction, family trips, and other interests.
• Home Education Resources -- Links we found useful while learning at home, including resource links for Jewish education.

  This is a skeleton area for right now because I need to re-check all kinds of links and build some new pages. But if you are a Jewish homeschooler looking for information and community, I suggest that you check out the Chevra Jewish homeschooling email list.
