You Really Can Enjoy Homeschooling!

Dear Homeschooling Parent,


I see you in your commitment to this path. 


You’re striving to bring beauty and wonder to your children, even if you don’t know exactly how you’ll do it yet...


You just KNOW that holistic education is what’s right for your family.


So here you are! Wondering how to make sense of all the blogs, resources, and curriculum out there...


You might be feeling overwhelmed by all the materials you’ve purchased. Or not quite sure how to put together a lesson.



It’s challenging to wrap your mind around all the pieces + parts of homeschooling! 


And then to create a cohesive actionable plan you truly feel confident about.

 

Your plan needs to meet YOU, your children, and your family right where you are.


So between methodology, mindset, and coming up with your plan - you probably could use some help.


And that’s okay! It’s not your fault if you haven’t quite settled into your role as a home educator…


You’ve taken on a mighty task.


All is not lost if you’re overwhelmed, behind, or confused. 


A few years ago, I conducted a survey of homeschoolers and here’s what I learned: the #1 challenge that homeschoolers face is, by far, feeling like they just can’t quite “bring it all together.” 


Homeschool parents often feel disempowered…what with managing lessons, household chores, and maybe even just a little self-care?!


If you’re struggling, you are not alone. AND, please know, there IS a way forward.


You do NOT need to:


X  Study all the books and philosophy to get started...

X  Implement someone else’s 700-page curriculum…
X  Feel stressed today, tomorrow, or any day moving forward with your beautiful homeschool life.



Take a deep breath and know that SIMPLICITY is on your side and will sustain this wondrous journey you’re on. 


You deserve joy and ease in your homeschool.


I believe in you and I believe in simplicity. Take a look at everything on this page because it’s based on 26 years of homeschooling my kiddos and 14 years of mentoring hundreds of homeschoolers. 


There is an art and science to this path and I really feel I’ve cracked the code, my friend.


Above all else - YOU have got this!


💜 Jean

"I feel more at ease with our homeschooling since I’ve been using Jean’s guide. It helped to bring things down to earth for me. Not only do I recommend it to anyone, especially those just starting out, but I’d say it is a Go To Treasure."

~ Christine D.


"This is a wonderful concise guide to help you on your way with grades 1-8. With tools for planning, scheduling, running your home, circle time, verses, and also the low down on what to cover for each grade. There is so much. It helped me gain an overview and insight into what is good to include in my routine and homeschooling."

~ Dawn W.


"I was finally able to see a clear and simple plan for the future of our homeschool, that will take us all the way through! All of my anxiety and confusion about which resources to use melted away, and I was able to see the beauty and joy again. This guide just helps make homeschooling so doable and approachable. I can’t thank Jean enough! This is a must have."

~ Angela C.

Sure… you COULD create and uphold homeschool simplicity on your own without these resources I’m offering you.

You could…  You could learn about simplicity, homeschooling, rhythm, planning, the arts, child development, how to create change, and wonderful themes and books to bring to your children…   

You could develop a sustainable healthy mindset without any investments whatsoever.  

I’m trusting you could do that! Absolutely. 

But honestly, I know that you would save a bucketload of time, frustration, trial and error by investing a small amount today and getting the Homeschool Simplicity Bundle.

~ Nicole A.


"This guide helps me avoid the over-planning I’m prone to do. It shows me how to fit the pieces of our day together, and organizes me with practical suggestions. It helps me see the big picture by laying out simple charts for every grade level. Most importantly, Jean’s wisdom here eases my anxiety when it crops up from time to time. I have owned a variety of Waldorf guides along with the syllabus for several grades, but this guide is the most helpful of all, and the one I return to again and again."

Hello!

I'm Jean, homeschooling mentor and experienced homeschool educator of three kiddos (two boys and a girl). 

We started homeschooling back in the 1990s ~ yup, a while ago!

And in the past 15 years, I've helped thousands of homeschooling parents just like you find ways to make homeschooling work for their families.

I offer online courses, coaching, digital resources, an online support community, and in-person retreats for holistic homeschoolers. I'm here for you!

Homeschool Simplicity 101 is for YOU if…

  • You’re a new, experienced, or seasoned home educator, and would love to refresh your approach.

  • You would like practical advice on how to bring it all together.

  • Open-and-go curriculums are not working for you.

  • You’ve purchased a curriculum (and maybe another) but you’re still not sure how to use it and make it work for you.

  • Simplicity resonates with you!

FAQs

  • Is this a complete curriculum?

    No, this is better than a curriculum! With Homeschool Simplicity 101, you will understand the foundational principles of holistic education AND you'll be able to use any resources or curriculum you already have to homeschool your children. This is the primer on the homeschooling mindset and approaches which will help you create a sustainable, inspiring homeschooling journey!

  • What do the Block Outlines include?

    For each grade 1-8, we include an outline of resources suggested by main lesson block subject for each month, September-May. Within each block, we list favorite sources for stories and activities. These suggestions are based on years of experience by the Art of Homeschooling Team! They are tried and true resources for each main lesson block and each grade.

  • Do you recommend a specific curriculum to go with Homeschool Simplicity 101?

    No, I don't. Because there are so many options out there. And, my goal is to help you learn to put together main lesson blocks on your own with or without a curriculum. You can even decide which parts to use of the curriculum you already have. While there is nothing wrong with purchasing a curriculum package, the truth is that we end up using anywhere from 30-60% of that curriculum. And the magic lies in learning to customize a plan for our own unique family. That's what this bundle can help you do: customize what you already have or plan to buy, and make it work for you.

  • How can I access everything in the collection?

    You’ll receive an email immediately upon purchase with a login link. All items and bonuses in HS101 will be accessible immediately! You are free to download and/or print all of the PDFs. You can also access your bundle anytime by going to www.studio.artofhomeschooling.com where you’ll see the bundle inside your Dashboard. You have lifetime access to everything inside.
