I remember one of the most intimidating things about homeschooling for me was figuring out what I needed to DO legally to be able to homeschool. What forms did I need to turn in at the beginning and the end of the year, and by when? What all was required to teach during the school year?

I so desperately wanted a list showing me exactly what to do. Instead, I google searched and asked a million questions of other moms as I tried to piece things together.

I’m excited to share with you that today there is now a LIST!

With the help of my friend and homeschool evaluator Kristin, we’ve created a PDF checklist showing you everything you need to turn in to be able to homeschool (the elementary ages) in the state of Pennsylvania. 

We’ve also created a video where we discuss in detail all you need to know about what to turn in and what you’re required to DO during your school year. 

I longed for a resource like this which is why we wanted to create this video and list for others who might be feeling the same. 

We want you to feel confident and equipped as you move into your homeschooling year! 

But let’s pause for a hot minute before we get to all this Pennsylvania fun! I’m going to throw a ‘subscribe’ box right here in case any of you want to keep up with new posts as they come out!

Pennsylvania Homeschooling Checklist

I hope this helps you have a better grasp on what is needed to homeschool in Pennsylvania!

You’ve got this!!

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a homeschool curriculum and it can be quite overwhelming – the pros and cons lists and all the options to choose from can leave your head spinning! If you and I were sitting down together over coffee, these are some of the tips I’d share with you as you process this decision for your family. I hope it can be an encouragement to you in this journey!

The million dollar question: “What curriculum do you use?” Well ladies and gentlemen, time to put on my invisible nerd glasses and break it down for you in my latest homeschool video.

Buckle up for my RAVE review of all things Sonlight! If you or someone you know is contemplating what curriculum to use, definitely check this out. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you might have!

She’s here! Say hello to my two-part video about what our current homeschool schedule looks like! Keep in mind that:

1. Schedules are not for everyone. We went years without a schedule but have recently implemented one and it’s been a game changer for us! I give some points for why I think schedules are great, but know that it’s a per-family situation and it may not be a good fit for you – and that’s ok!

2. I am not a homeschool expert. In fact, I haven’t shared much about our homeschool journey because even in our fifth year, I still feel so new at it and there’s so much learning and adapting we go through in this process. Does anyone ever feel like an expert when it comes to this?! I’m opening up a bit more in hopes that it can be of help to some families that are in this adventure.

3. Feel free to share this! Homeschooling can be intimidating and at times feel a little lonely, but maybe seeing how one family does it might give a little hope and encouragement that it can be done!

I’ve been asked a few times how we organize our homeschool, so I thought it’s time to make a video giving a little tour! Our homeschool “operation” is fairly simple – no big frills but it gets the job done! Check out the tour in the video below and if you have any questions or want more details on something specific let me know!
