Frequently Asked Questions
What is homeschooling?
Homeschooling is an educational approach where parents or guardians take primary responsibility for their children's education at home rather than sending them to a traditional public or private school. Families can customize the curriculum, pace, and teaching methods to fit their child's individual learning style and needs.
How do I start homeschooling?
Starting homeschooling involves several key steps: research your state's homeschool laws and notification requirements, choose a curriculum or educational approach that fits your family, set up a dedicated learning space, create a daily schedule, and connect with local homeschool groups for support. Kids on the Yard can guide you through every step of the process.
Do I need to be a certified teacher to homeschool?
In most states, you do not need to be a certified teacher to homeschool your children. Requirements vary by state, but the majority allow parents without teaching credentials to educate their children at home. Some states may require a minimum education level for the teaching parent. Our compliance team can help you understand your state's specific requirements.
How much does homeschooling cost?
Homeschooling costs vary widely depending on curriculum choices, extracurricular activities, and whether you use professional tutoring services. Basic curriculum materials can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per year. Many states offer ESA (Education Savings Accounts) or voucher programs that can help offset costs. Contact us to learn about funding options in your state.
Can homeschooled students go to college?
Absolutely! Homeschooled students are accepted at colleges and universities across the country, including Ivy League schools. Many colleges actively recruit homeschoolers because of their self-motivation and strong academic preparation. Proper transcript preparation and standardized test scores are key components of a successful college application.
What does a homeschool coaching session look like?
A typical homeschool coaching session is a one-on-one meeting (virtual or in-person) where our experienced homeschool coach reviews your current approach, addresses challenges, and helps you develop actionable strategies. Sessions cover everything from daily scheduling and curriculum selection to managing multiple children and maintaining motivation.
Is parent coaching helpful if I'm new to homeschooling?
Parent coaching is especially valuable for families new to homeschooling. Our coaches help you navigate the initial overwhelm, understand state requirements, choose appropriate curriculum, establish effective routines, and build confidence in your ability to educate your children. Many families find that coaching accelerates their transition to successful homeschooling.
