The biggest expense in homeschooling is, arguably, the grocery bill 😉 Many homeschool families use free resources to teach everything their kids need to know, while some families choose to purchase planned-for-you curriculum. The main difference is how much time you have to organize and plan.

If you want open-and-go, planned for you experiences for your homeschool, you can expect to spend $300 on average per child for curriculum. This does not include additional supplies, extra curricular activities, etc.

However, do not get discouraged. There are many ways to provide an excellent homeschool experience for your family without breaking the bank!

Socialization is a hot-topic among people who have not experienced homeschooling first-hand. The reality is, homeschooled students are often more outgoing and confident than traditionally schooled students.

Contrary to traditionally schooled students, homeschool families seek adventure in learning. Homeschoolers spend less time at a desk and more time interacting with the world around them.
