The purpose of this website is to make available ways of cutting costs while homeschooling. We hope this will enable you to save money while maintaining a high quality of education. Some homeschoolers love bargains. Others try to cut costs out of necessity. Regardless of why you want to cut costs, our goal is to help you do the best you can to save money.


Homeschooling Methods

Homeschooling is not a one-size fits all type of education. Children's learning styles are as varied as the biggest box of crayons one can find. If a certain style doesn't mesh with your child, try a different method. You may even have to try different methods for different subjects. Read more about homeschooling methods from an article written by April Morris.


Homeschooling in California

Unit Safari

Unit-Safari is a co-op site where unit studies are put together as a group. This isn't a site for lurkers, but for active participants. A topic is chosen every two weeks and members send information to the list on that particular topic. At the end of that unit collection, the information is organized into a printable unit for members' use. These unit studies include Bible References, Learning Objectives, Vocabulary, Reference Books, Living Books, Movies, Websites, Activities, Worksheets, Games, Writing Assignments, and Evaluation Ideas.

Educator Discount Highlight

Borders Classroom Discount If you are a homeschooler and can provide any applicable state certification, you are eligible for the 20% Classroom Discount Card. The 20% discount applies to materials used in the classroom or for classroom preparation. Homeschoolers in states without certification should contact a manger at the store for instructions on how to document your status as a homeschooler. They offer their discount program to teachers of pre-school through high school including school librarians and homeschoolers. The card entitles the bearer to 20% off list price on books, music or videos for classroom/homeschool use only. Public and private school teachers have their "card" and I also have one for the local homeschool group I belong to. You can always make a card if you do not have one and put your school name on it. I made myself business cards with my school name printed on them.
