Homeschooling on a Budget

About this book

In "Homeschooling on a Budget," veteran homeschooling mother Jessica Marie Baumgartner dismantles the myth that quality education requires thousands of dollars in specialized materials and programs. Drawing from her decade of experience teaching four children on a modest family income, she delivers a practical, no-nonsense guide that proves excellent homeschooling is achievable for families of all economic backgrounds.

Baumgartner walks readers through every aspect of affordable homeschooling, from utilizing free community resources like libraries and museums to finding low-cost curriculum materials and enrichment activities. She offers candid insights about navigating homeschooling co-ops, conventions, online resources, and workforce training without breaking the bank. The book addresses common concerns about socialization, graduation requirements, and preparing students for higher education or careers.

With refreshing honesty and pragmatism, Baumgartner shares her family's journey through various educational approaches, teaching readers to identify what truly matters in education versus expensive trappings that add little value. She provides concrete examples of how to stretch each dollar while providing rich, customized learning experiences that cater to each child's unique needs and interests.

Whether you're a seasoned homeschooler looking to reduce costs or a family considering homeschooling but worried about affordability, this guide provides the encouragement and practical tools needed to confidently educate your children without financial strain.

If you enjoyed "The Brave Learner," "The Homeschool Highway," or "Homeschooling for Absolute Beginners," you'll love "Homeschooling on a Budget."
