As summer beckons and the school year winds down, many homeschool parents are shifting their focus to the upcoming school year and putting their plans in place. This season of reflection and planning offers a golden opportunity to design a course of study that inspires, engages, doubles down on what’s working, improves what’s not, and aligns with your family’s vision. Thoughtful preparation now can pave the way for a rewarding and enriching year ahead.

When it comes to choosing curriculum and resources for a new school year, the temptation might be to begin shopping right away or researching what other homeschool parents are using. Before filling online shopping carts or scrolling through social media for inspiration, pause to reconnect with your core purpose. Take a moment to revisit what you’re aiming at and why.
