The Balanced Homeschooler

Grounded in Titus 2:3-5, the heart of the mentoring process is a mandate for more experienced women to first and foremost model good lifestyle choices and spiritual disciplines. Only then can they provide encouragement, guidance, and training to those who have not journeyed as far on the path of life. As homeschooling moms, we have an additional layer of complexity to our daily lives, which is where The Balanced Homeschooler comes in!

An excellent value, the Balanced Homeschooler mentoring program applies Socratic principles to help new AND veteran homeschooling moms understand, balance, and enjoy the priorities of homeschooling and home life.

Structured into 10 chapters, 500+ pages, 26 reproducible forms, and citing hundreds of references and resource recommendations, it can be used independently, in one-on-one meetings, or in a group setting.

It is essentially a "Homeschooling / Home Life 101 Course" that is...

Personal
Comprehensive
Scalable
Flexible
Easy-to-use

Session proceeds go to support the Evan C. Gary Memorial Scholarship for homeschoolers, administered by the GCU Scholarship Foundation in Phoenix, AZ.

Though the program can be used independently or one-on-one, the best implementation of the program is in a small group setting.

Mentors who have been through TBH are encouraged to serve as TBH Principal Mentor Moms and start local groups within their own support group or local homeschooling community.

Moms may also attend virtual sessions, which promote efficiency while connecting homeschooling moms in a variety of settings. Our virtual sessions are truly mentoring without borders!

Our nine-meeting spring sessions run from February through April while fall sessions start September and finish prior to Thanksgiving week.

Accelerated summer sessions are also available, which start mid-June and cover the same material in only five weeks.

In the seventeen years that I have homeschooled our boys, I have been asked countless times by many friends and acquaintances for advice and input on how we practically handle a variety of issues related to home education and household management.

Out of my passion to help other homeschooling families find joy and success in their personal journey, The Balanced Homeschooler mentoring program was born!

Not only does the program enable me to come alongside homeschooling moms in a more practical and personal way, but it also provides a mechanism to inspire other veteran moms to mentor and support the homeschoolers in their life who are new to home education or may just be entering a new season and desire some much needed input and encouragement.

So, whether you are just thinking about homeschooling, new to homeschooling, or have homeschooled a long time and maybe even have a heart to mentor others one day, join the nearly 100 moms who have enjoyed this program since 2010 and let’s get started!

REVIEW BY "THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE"

--Product review by Melanie Reynolds, The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine, LLC, May, 2016

In most professions, a new employee receives some sort of training for the job he or she is about to begin. However, for homeschooling moms, this preparation is usually “on the job” training! We do learn so much as we go. But what if you had a program that you could attend before you began to homeschool, or later at any time during your homeschooling career, which took you through a complete mentoring program that prepared you for a life of homeschooling, or helped you to refine and improve the one you’re already living?

Most of us wish we’d had this wonderful opportunity. And although I have come to THE BALANCED HOMESCHOOLER (subtitled “Helping Moms Create Their Successful Homeschool Household Through Biblical Personal Mentoring”) rather late in my homeschooling career, I can attest that this program is just what homeschool moms need to equip, encourage, and enable them to create, or improve, an effective and exceptional homeschool life with their own families.
