Middle School 

Do those two words make you feel terrified, unqualified, and overwhelmed?

Have you ditched the fun activities from elementary school to focus on textbooks, lectures, and tests because you thought it was the only way to set a solid foundation for high school?

Are your kids bored, frustrated, and starting to hate school?

Did you know that middle school doesn’t have to be overwhelming?

I believe that middle school can be the best years to homeschool when you use creative activities and unique tools.

Imagine a homeschooling day where your children are excited to learn because subjects are coming alive for them. Where lessons are completed independently, without grumbling, and with more information being retained. 

It is possible to have a smile on your face at the end of the day because…

homeschooling middle school can be fun!

Middle School Almost Made Me Give Up Homeschooling

I homeschooled my two girls from the beginning, but there came a point when I thought about sending them to public school. And do you know why? Middle School. I was terrified of the middle school years and felt unprepared and unqualified.

Like many moms, I was homeschooling so I could plan lessons around my children’s interest and learning styles, but instead, I found myself only teaching from textbooks. And you know what? We were miserable.

So, I decided to go back to the eclectic hands-on, project-based approach from grade school. I kept the math textbooks and for the most part, ditched the rest. The result? My girls fell in love with they used to find boring, are incredible self-starters, and they’re excited to learn new things. 

They are thriving.

There is great joy in homeschooling older kids and I’m here to help you transform your middle school years into something both you and your teen will love.
