"Homeschooling is the most flexible and diverse educational option available today. The variety of homeschooling styles reflects the diversity of the people who choose this method. Some families organize their homeschool to be the same as a traditional school, with the children studying the same subjects the same way as public school students. Some families use the opposite approach and "un-school" their children--a far less structured approach where the children's schedule is determined by their interests & readiness.

"Most homeschoolers, however, use an eclectic approach that is partly structured & partly free flowing. This method allows parents to pick & choose the classes, online classes, charter schools, independent study programs, apprenticeships, volunteering, or a host of other options. Homeschooling is as unique as you are."
