There’s a new school year coming up, and as you plan, it can be tempting to create a school schedule that would stagger a grad student. I know – I’ve been there. I’ve started school years with so many classes planned for my boys that we would have been at the table for most of the daylight hours if we’d done it all.

Whether you’re contemplating trying your first unit study or you’ve already completed more than you can count, whether you’re a homeschool newbie or a seasoned veteran, we’ve compiled a list of the top ten reasons to use unit studies in your homeschool – regardless of what it may look like!

When it comes to preparing for the new school year it is easy to be absorbed in curriculum reviews, book lists and planning our routines, but these things are just the tools we use to disciple our children.

We are nearing the end of our twelfth year homeschooling. It’s been quite a journey so far. I still have plenty to learn and am both excited by that and daunted. After twelve years of doing something you’d think there would be no more struggle.

Ready or not, a new school year will begin shortly…or will it? Having the freedom to choose when to begin the next school year is a tremendous benefit to homeschooling.
