There are over twenty thousand families in the UK whose children are home educated, and at least a million in the USA.

One family can only provide one perspective on home education. Every child is unique, every parent has a different background, and each situation provides different opportunities for learning. There are thousands of homeschooling web sites based in the USA, and a few elsewhere in the world. I have selected some which had family appeal and other interest rather than being just a list of links to resources.

So have a look at some of the following sites, which are created by other home educating families with their own unique perspectives on home education.

Muddle Puddle - Perhaps the best known of the 'early years' home education sites, this site has recently been revived.  An excellent resource and highly recommended.

Homeschool Activities - Extensive notes about one family's home education adventure, by a mother who was herself home educated. Articles about home education in general and activities to be enjoyed.

Ross Mountney's Notebook - Full of useful information about home educating, and some articles from her 'Diary of a Home Educating Nobody'. 

The Haylett Virtual Residence - a Christian family site, full of useful information about home education in the UK, with several articles about Christian issues related to relationships, families and education.

Little Bears Home Education site - Christian family site with details of various curricula and home education methods, including planned suggestions for structuring a week for younger children.

Brights of Beckton - another Christian family site, with details of how they dealt with teenage qualifications (see the page labelled 'school' for the home education information), and an interesting page about family board games.

World Star Academy - a collection of useful resources in various topics, organised by a family home educating in California.  The format is that of a blog but the style is of a resource site.

General information sites, such as those for UK home ed organisations, are included on the general home education links page, and sites which have an ongoing journal of day-to-day activities are on the home educators' blogs page. 

If you'd like to read sites by home educated students themselves, there are a few listed on my home educating teenagers' sites page.
