Rather, groups of Home Educating families of all ages and stages choose to learn together, share together and have fun together on a regular basis. Each co-op looks different.

Episode 3 – Finding Community
Making the decision to home educate our children is, in the words of Robert Frost’s much loved poem, making the decision to take the road less travelled.

Episode 2 – Juggling
For a few decades we’ve been wondering whether we women can really “have it all”. And now we’ve gone and added educating our children into the mix. How is it possible?
