What is Unschooling?

Self-Directed

Children are naturally eager learners when we give them freedom. Unschooled children are intrinsically motivated because they decide for themselves what and how to learn and at their own pace.

Joy-Based

Because Unschooling is a noncompulsory and noncoercive education, children are less stressed and have more time to do and learn what makes them happy. They often have fulfilling careers related to their passions as adults.

Interest-Led

Unschooled children decide what to learn based on their own interests.  Parents provide access to resources and connect with mentors in order to support a child's learning.
