Beacons of Home Learning

I love learning with my children at home. I am very grateful that there is so much in this world to learn! I would like to share ideas, resources, links, and other information in many areas of home learning. You will find information on the different ways to homeschool, how to get started, learning styles, and resources available. You will also find links to online resources in many academic subject areas our family enjoys learning about. Learning is an adventure that never ends! Enjoy!

We are a group of Latter-day Saint homeschool moms actively pursuing our own self-education. Our studies are based on the course outlines for A Mother's Educational Course for Latter-day Saints, which have been developed to help us each become better persons, mothers, and home educators.
