Question 3

What should a homeschool schedule look like?

Accepted Answer

A homeschool schedule wants to be one that fits your family. Taking into account the goals for your children's home education, their ages, and your lifestyle as a family, will all help in creating a homeschool schedule that suits your family.

There is no one size fits all approach. Some families thrive with formal learning throughout the day, some prefer mornings only, some prefer weekdays only, some prefer 3 or 4 days a week of focused lessons, and many see home education as everyday learning with or without the formalities.

Question 4

How many hours a day should you spend homeschooling?

Accepted Answer

This really depends on the style of home education and the curriculum you use. Some families will have set lessons which take 3 to 5 hours a day, some have lessons ranging in 10 minutes per lesson with various lessons so it adds up to 1 to 2 hours, some it's 30 minutes a day.

The point is, that many homeschoolers believe home education happens outside of a textbook and set lesson time per day, so it could be most hours of the day outside of sleeping.

If you follow a school-based approach then it will probably be more formal focused hours of education.
