If you are brand new to homeschooling, I would love to introduce you to my friend, Terri Johnson:
From: Todd and Terri Johnson
All around the country, parents are pulling their kids out of school because of the liberal agenda, worldly curriculum, low academic standards, overcrowded classrooms, lack of individualized attention, problems on the playground, harmful peer-pressure, etc.
And private school isn’t necessarily the best solution either. With skyrocketing tuition fees, more over-crowding and the influx of expelled students from the public school system, parents are realizing that private school doesn’t always solve the problems created by public school shortcomings. This leaves homeschooling as the best, and perhaps only, acceptable solution for many families.
But can I let you in on something that nobody is talking about?
Removing your children from the public school system is the easy part. Creating and maintaining a healthy, well-rounded, academically superior and God honoring learning environment at home requires some intentional planning and execution. It doesn’t happen automatically.
In fact, most homeschooling parents would agree that it often takes two full years to feel as though they have finally entered their stride and are fostering the home learning environment that they are striving for. But what about those first two years? We want them to be great, right? Wouldn’t it be nice if this learning curve could be shortened?
I have good news for you! Now, it can.
Join our Homeschooling ABCs class and get 26 weeks of step-by-step instruction – all the basics of homeschooling from A to Z – delivered straight to your email box!
Our course will help you to start with confidence and make this year a wonderfully memorable event for your family! Homeschooling is a great educational choice for your children, but if you are just getting started, you may have more questions than you have answers. And perhaps alot of enthusiasm, but not alot of direction. But that can change starting today..
You are about to embark on an amazing adventure!
So who are we anyway and why would you want for us to walk along-side you on this exciting new adventure?
Todd and I have been married nearly 20 years, home teaching our children for 11 years and operating a publishing business (www.knowledgequestmaps.com) that specializes in history and geography curricula for the homeschool marketplace for the last 7 years.
We didn’t “plan” to homeschool our firstborn daughter but we did choose this path when she was in kindergarten. We have taught our other five children at home as well. The first two years were full of trial and error. There was so much that we didn’t know. There were gnawing questions that we didn’t have answers to, such as… “Am I doing enough?” “Will my child do well on her test?” “Will he be able to succeed in the outside world” “Am I forgetting to teach something important?”
And yet, uncertainties and all, we loved the result of teaching our children at home and each year made the decision to continue along this journey. Now, in hindsight, we realize that we have something to offer you, the brand new homeschool parent – something that we wished that we had had! Because of our experience over the past 11 years, we are ready to provide you with weekly, step-by-step coaching to help you navigate your way through that important first year of homeschooling.
That is why we are here today offering this Homeschooling ABCs class for beginning homeschool parents. So that you can benefit from the wisdom and experience of those who have traveled this way before you.
In our class, you will…
* Determine YOUR philosophy of education –
By understanding what you believe about education, you will be able to impart that education more strategically to your children. And stay more focused and on-track!
* Understand your children’s learning styles – We all learn differently, there is no doubt about that. When we understand how our child learns best, we can cater his education specifically to him.
* Learn the ins and outs of buying & selling curriculum – Let’s face it, if we need to buy curriculum to successful teach our children, we might as well learn to buy it right!
* Find out how to get and stay organized –
You and your children will function better when your school day, school area and school work are well organized.
* Learn how to teach multiple ages at the same time – Most of us do not just have 1 child and so it helps to learn how to teach more than one child at more than one grade level. You CAN excel at this!
* Make the most of field trips – Field trips can take school from good to great. Find out how to optimize learning while still having fun.
* How to handle the “S” question – Socialization –
People will constantly ask you how you are socializing your children. Have an answer and a plan.
* How to start each day WELL and keep it going that way – Keep your children motivated, stay cheerful in their attitudes and quick to finish their schoolwork.
* Get hundreds of dollars of free curriculum – Many wonderful companies are partnering with us to bring you the best possible first year experience. They will be giving you substantial portions of their curriculum to get you started right!
Why walk this road alone when you can have someone hold your hand and help guide the way. Homeschooling is a wonderful endeavor, but if you have never taught your child at home before, there are alot of uncertainties. In fact, you can get downright overwhelmed when you do a Google search on “homeschooling” in order to get more information. There is so much information out there, but none of it is organized for the beginning homeschool parent who needs step-by-step information delivered in bite-sized chunks.
That is exactly what this Homeschooling ABCs class is about – step-by-step information delivered to you once a week via email that will include bite-sized chunks of wisdom and advice as well as action steps for that week. The following lessons will build upon that knowledge, but will not overwhelm you because you will have had a week to digest the previous week’s lesson and put it into practice.
When you join our Homeschooling ABCs class, you will receive an email each week for 26 weeks that will discuss an important area of homeschooling, give you food for thought and action steps to complete. You will also receive valuable curricula from our partnering companies each month that you can begin using right away. Over $200 worth of curricula will be given to you over the course of the next 6 months for your family to use and enjoy. And enjoy you will, as this stuff is amazing!
If you are not completely satisfied with the content of the course at any time during the next 60 days, we will refund 100% of your class fees. No questions asked. You have nothing to lose.
We can only accept 1000 new homeschooling parents into our Homeschooling ABCs class. There are tens of thousands of families who are choosing to homeschool every year, but we need to cut off the number of attendees we can accept so that we can manage this class well. So join now as those 1000 spaces are going fast – there are only 585 class memberships left.
The cost to join our Homeschooling ABCs class is only $10 a month for the duration of 6 months. That’s only $2.30 per class session – significantly less than the cost of a tall mocha. Which of these delicious choices do you think would be most beneficial to you each week?

I have a preschooler, toddler and infant. I am not officially homeschooling yet, but I plan to. Would this course still be helpful?
I think you might be better to wait a bit. Once you are within a year of starting, then start researching, talking to home educators, join a home educator group.
