Homeschool Methods: Eclectic Homeschooling

 

If you are new to homeschooling, some the terms other homeschoolers use and the different homeschool methods they refer to may leave you with even more questions; but no worries. I will help you navigate through the different methods of homeschooling so you can choose the method best for your family.

Eclectic Homeschooling is a highly individualized education method resulting from mixing multiple homeschooling methods. Eclectic homeschoolers see value in a variety of homeschool methods. When you combine the educational goals you have for your children with your observations of their strengths, learning styles, and interests, you are able to mix the curriculum and resources that will fulfill both.

Here are some curriculum considerations for eclectic homeschooling:
