The Homeschool Bible (for a thriving education)

The Homeschool Bible is a comprehensive guide (by a former school headteacher) for those who have opted to remove their children from conventional education, and for whatever reason, prefer to school their children at home.

This is an empowering and practical book, to ensure that your child is both well-educated but also well-balanced, and not isolated in any way. Learn ‘why’ home schooling may be right for your child, and then create an educational philosophy and curriculum tailored to your needs.

Use effective teaching methods to engage and manage your child’s learning, and navigate laws and documentation requirements (this is a US book, so info may differ). Visit the UK government website for information on home educating your child.

Also learn how to structure your days to deepen learning, while balancing school with family life. And monitor with easy methods for testing, grading and documenting progress. And find support, and make friends along the way!

Rooted in the practical wisdom of a seasoned educator, this book encourages you all to forge a path that is truly yours. Join the movement of thousands of parents, who are redefining the boundaries of learning.

Over the years, I cobbled together bits of wisdom from scattered internet articles, a handful of books, chance conversations on playgrounds, and a few conferences. Mandy has done what so many of us longed for – she’s gathered the essential know-how in one place, weaving it into a guide that’s both concrete enough to walk any family through the process, and flexible enough to adapt to each family’s unique style and circumstances.

For everyone who was ever told they didn’t have the ‘qualifications’ to homeschool, Mandy helps put that notion to rest once and for all. She helps parents discover that they do in fact have what it takes, to create an incredible educational environment for their children. Nick Freitas

Author Mandy Davis is a former school principal turned homeschool advocate, with a background in public, private and international education. She shares her work at Homebuilt Ecucation.

The Homeschool Bible Parent’s Planner is a beautifully designed companion to the book, with thought-provoking reflection prompts to clarify your vision and goals to organise and simplify your daily routine.
