The internet has made it possible to learn just about anything, and often for free! There are also great online and local classes, plus all the learning that happens in the natural course of daily life. A full list of resources can be found on the Idea Hub. If you would like to suggest a resource to add to this list, get in touch via our Contact form.
One of the biggest hurdles for families at the start of the self-directed education journey is letting go of the idea that learning only happens inside a classroom between 9-3. Another hurdle is figuring out where to start. For a bit of structure and guidance at this stage of the journey, check out the Celebrate Learning 101 program available for free on YouTube. You can also get a printable "menu" of daily activity ideas on the Celebrate Learning store.
The Celebrate Learning 101 series will help you set goals and get started with a self-directed education.
The spreadsheet guide used will also automatically generate an Official Plan that you can send to your school or homeschooling authority for continued permission to do this kind of learning.
