"You Have Really Given Me a Confidence Boost to Try This Style With My Kids."
Tanya Doyle -New Homeschool Mother Tanilba Bay NSW
Hi, I'm Michelle and I can remember the overwhelming task of planning my early days homeschooling. I needed information, practical advice and a starting point for teaching my children at home.
I want to share my experience and help you pull a primary homeschool curriculum together that suits your family. Don't panic! It isn't as hard as it sounds.
You Can Avoid Pre Packaged Homeschool Curriculum
Let Me Show You How!
Our homeschool teaching guides are here to help you de-mystify homeschooling and give you the confidence you need to home educate. You will share in the joy of learning with your children and you can avoid being locked into an expensive pre-packed, distance education curriculum.
In an effort to eliminate some of that curriculum confusion I have provided resources and Australian curriculum guides that will give fresh ideas or help you get started home educating your primary aged children.
Give Your Kids A Strong Academic Education That Delights!
Charlotte Mason's method of education inspires a love of learning that is known for its gentleness and academic excellence. My eclectic curriculum suggestions and resources use many ideas that were inspired by Charlotte Mason.
We use living books for teaching;
Do You Come From The Land Downunder?
Are you sick of adapting your overseas homeschool resources to suit Australia or New Zealand?
Do you want your children to learn the literature, spelling, history and nature of our country?
Do you want home grown materials written by homeschoolers for homeschoolers?
Well I did too!
Homeschooling Downunder began because of a desire to see more homeschool reources that suited home education in Australia. Having oodles of New Zealand friends and family we wanted to include home education resources for them when we could.

The Downunder Copywork Series uses living literature from Australia and New Zealand.

Praise From A New Homeschooling Mum
"I just want to tell you that I have spent not hours, but DAYS on your website. Yes, DAYS!!!! I have read and reread and reread every single word you have to say, and I've checked out ALL of your sample files, probably every single link ..I want to tell you that your website is achieving exactly what you have set out to achieve. You certainly are a blessing to the newly starting homeschooler.
As someone whom is just starting out, your 8 years of experience is of enormous comfort to me. You have helped me to realize that I was trying to do too much, and that it's okay to relax a little, just make sure that I'm using good quality sources, and feed their brains with beautiful literature. ..
The most help you have been to me is introducing me to this Charlotte Mason style. I do believe that learning from the great writers themselves is absolutely the best way to learn English. I know with Cindy being an avid reader that she will take to it like a duck to a pond.*smile*.
You have really given me a confidence boost to try this style with my kids. "
