Homeschooling for us isn’t just about textbooks and lessons — it’s about discovery, laughter, and learning in every moment. At The Gootees, education happens everywhere: in the kitchen while we bake, in the garden as we plant seeds, or on the road during family adventures

We started homeschooling to give our children the freedom to learn at their own pace, to ask questions fearlessly, and to explore the world with open hearts. It’s a journey that has taught us, as parents, just as much as it’s taught our kids

Our approach blends structured learning with creativity and play — a balance of academics, life skills, and character growth. Whether it’s science experiments, reading under a tree, or learning fractions through baking cookies, every day becomes a chance to grow together

We believe that homeschooling isn’t about doing school at home — it’s about building a lifestyle of learning that’s rooted in love, curiosity, and connection
