The number of families choosing the path of homeschool continues to skyrocket, according to experts. If you listen closely, you may hear the claps and cheers of millions of experienced homeschooling families who know well the great blessing newcomers are bestowing upon their families with this choice.

Of course, the homeschool route isn’t the easiest road, and starting out into the unknown tends to be the hardest part of the journey. So, for those brave parents choosing to take back the reins and steer their own children’s education and development, here is some advice.
