Here in the mountains, we have…
The freedom to choose a different path.
In Upcountry, one thing is for sure — we have the opportunity to do things differently, and our kids’ education is no exception.
Many of us have chosen a different path because we feel left out of decisions about how (and what) our children are being taught. Some of us simply want out of a system that seems to undermine our family values and freedoms. And maybe some of us are just tired of being told when we can take our kids to Disneyland.
Whether you’re just starting to explore your options outside the conventional school system, or you’ve been a dedicated homeschooler for years — the idea of teaching your kids at home can feel overwhelming.
If you’re anything like us, maybe you wonder if you’ll be able to give your kids the well-rounded education they need, or how they’ll make friends, or if your kitchen table (or floor) will ever be clean again.
Either way, if you’re ready to take the lead in your child’s education, you should know there’s a community behind you. You don’t have to do it alone.
