Ever wonder what kind of Home Schooler you are? 

Take this quiz from the Eclectic Homeschool to find out. I have listed my top 3 approaches from the quiz. Very enlightening! Please take into account this is how I feel (as a home school mom) not particularly how my children learn. That quiz comes later!

Montessori

Approach

Montessori education began with Maria Montessori in the early 1900s.  With this method, the parent acts as an observer or guide as the child spends long periods of uninterrupted child-led study.  The environment is set up to provide a place for the child to freely explore.  Subjects are explored in an interrelated way rather than separated into different areas of study.

Charlotte Mason Education

Approach

The Charlotte Mason approach to education focuses on educating the whole child and not just the mind.  Charlotte Mason believed in the importance of establishing good habits.  Shorter lessons with focused attention are preferred over longer blocks of time.  Understanding ideas is prioritized over learning facts.  Living books, spending time outside, literature-rich studies, art and music studies, and narration are elements you would find in a Charlotte Mason homeschool.

Unschooling

Approach

Unschooling is child-led learning.  Believers in this philosophy feel that leaning is natural for children and when children lead the way, learning is meaningful for the child.  Parents provide support and act as facilitators rather than teachers.
