Our calling to homeschool through ligh school
Sharing with you our bittersweet journey…
Our firstborn started high school in 2024. With uncertainty, lots of fears (and tears!), I often wondered if a Charlotte Mason high school education would prepare my children for the life God has called them to. I was not sure how education will look like at our home at this stage. So I frantically researched online but did not find many people talking about Charlotte Mason at high school. In the midst of my wandering and struggles, God constantly pointed me back to Mason and reassured me: “This is the way; walk in it” (Isaiah 30:21).
God opened my eyes to see the fruits in my children since their elementary years of using Mason’s methods, which have instilled good habits and truly preserved their joy and love of learning and reading great books. As we embark on this less-traveled journey, we will share our imperfect stories and any helpful resources in this cozy online space. I look forward to their graduation, not as an end to our homeschool journey, but as the beginning of their own pilgrimage, a lifetime pursue of self-education.
Our Homeschool Story
ESTABLISHED SINCE 2017
For four years I was working full-time and climbing up the academic ladder, while dreaming of homeschooling my own children one day. When we prayerfully pulled our firstborn out from a traditional school In 2017, I excitedly ordered books and things, and I jumped right in. Even though I was still exploring different educational philosophies at the beginning, my children woke up each day looking forward to this new journey.
All these years, we were among one of the first families in our social and family circles to homeschool. Without much local support, I have been extremely grateful for the online resources and training that other mother teachers have graciously offered to the community, and hope to offer encouragement and affirmation to other homeschool mothers.
Now that our firstborn is in high school, with two elementary siblings tagging along, we are in a whole new season of homeschooling. I trust that our faithful God will continue to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).
