Have y’all thought of homeschooling? We have great curriculums to suggest for Latin and ancient Greek

And, homeschooling is perfect for creative kids. It’s scary to think about, but you CAN do it.

Oh, we’ve been homeschooling for the last few years! This our ability to focus the first two years simply on recovering the joy of learning!!

It is hard and amazing and infinitely better than traditional school, yes, even on the days when there is a lot of yelling. Haha.

There was zero possibility of doing Latin our first year because our kiddo had an allergic reaction to nearly anything that was something the old school had done. Now that we are a couple of years out of that, we’ve been able to resume some of the things, like nature notebooks, that were very sweet parts of that school experience. So perhaps in another year or two, Latin will once again be on our curriculum list. We shall see.

Happy to hear curriculum suggestions and what you like/don't like about each one. Especially if one or more are more, or less, suited for kids with learning differences or kids who need to see the big picture before being taught all the minutiae. I will make notes for the future. Thanks!

My favorite Latin curriculum for littles up to high school is Latina Christiana, then Henle in high school. My absolute favorite for ancient Greek is "Andrew Teach Me Some Greek!" It's such a great curriculum that I learned it while teaching it. Also, by just listening to me teach the others, one of my boys, when he was barely 4, started reciting the Greek lessons I was teaching the others on his own!
