Today on The Modern Homeschool Podcast, we’re discussing different homeschooling styles. I don’t fit the mold for any one homeschooling style and I don’t think you should either; however, it’ s great to understand different homeschooling philosophies out there. Here are a few topics covered in this episode:
Charlotte Mason Homeschooling– Structured lessons in nature, art, reading, oral narration, writing, scripture, and Latin coupled with traditional subjects. A whole child education with a large variety of learning opportunities.
Montessori Homeschooling– Child led, Adult guided, learning that fosters independence, self-direction and hands-on learning.
Classical Homeschooling– This style builds yearly on different periods of history, incorporates a heavy literature and biblical basis and is divided into three sections of learning by age group. Grammar, Logic and Rhetoric.
Hygge Homeschooling-The Danish tradition of incorporating comfort, beauty, contentment and warmth into all aspects of your home in order to promote a cozy environment in which to learn and live in.
Budget Homeschooling– Using what we have and being creative with free resources at the library and online.
By Grade/Traditional Homeschooling– Homeschooling to grade requirements; prescriptive home- schooling as defined by state and federal requirements. Reminiscent of school at home. Eclectic Homeschooling– A mixture of lots of different curricula and books to encourage a wide range of resources and learning experiences.
Literature Based/Unit Study Homeschooling– Reading and studying books together and informing each subject of learning through the current literature/genre of study.
Art/Nature Based Homeschooling– Incorporating art into all aspects of learning with a strong focus on nature and the outdoors. Spending lots of time outdoors unstructured.
Unschooling– Rejection of traditional schooling methodologies in favor of unstructured, child led learning.

Did you know that homeschooling is currently the fastest growing form of education?
With nearly five million homeschoolers in America today, I hope that my listeners will gain inspiration, research and new ways to implement education with their children in natural and intentional ways. I want to offer solutions to the many challenging problems our youth faces today. I want to unify home educators and parents from around the world.
