Our Homeschool Story
Margaret used to homeschool Stetson and her siblings! From early elementary school until college, Margaret was fortunate to make homeschooling her full-time job and be a stay-at-home mom.
During our homeschooling journey, we adopted an “unschooling” approach, which meant we traded traditional curriculum for projects, traveling, museums, and more! This schedule allowed for a ton of flexibility so we traveled year round. Everywhere we went, we found cool parks, science museums, and history museums, so learning never stopped!
At home, we had a ton of pets, including three goats, 30+ rabbits, 20 chickens, dogs, cats, rats, and birds. Additionally, we trained guide dogs for the blind, combining education with a meaningful cause! Part of homeschooling meant the kids learned about the animals and how to care for them.
When we weren’t traveling or caring for our mini-farm, Stetson and her siblings were super involved in extracurriculars! They did music, dance, martial arts, community theatre, and co-op groups, surrounded by a ton of friends. Thanks to their early start in community college at 15, the kids graduated from university to start their careers younger than most!
