The Homeschool How ToAuthor: Cheryl - Host
I don't claim to know anything about homeschooling, so I set out on a journey to ask the people who do! Join me as I chat with homeschoolers to discuss; "why are people homeschooling," "what are all the ways people are using to homeschool today," and ultimately, "should I homeschool my kids?"

Done Homeschooling, Looking Back: What Matters Most Over 25 Years of Home Education
Saturday, 7 February, 2026
What does homeschooling look like after the kids are grown — and what advice actually holds up over 25 years? This week, I bring back a favorite episode of mine to help remind me what's really important while taking this homeschooling journey. In this episode of The Homeschool How To Podcast, I talk with Rosemary, a New Jersey mom of four who homeschooled all the way through high school and is now on the other side: kids launched, college decisions made, careers started, and the long view finally clear.Rosemary shares the approach that shaped her homeschool—part structure, part freedom—with a few non-negotiables (like math facts and early reading), plus a powerful reminder: you’re replaceable at work… but irreplaceable in your child’s life.You’ll also hear:Why agency is one of the biggest gifts homeschooling can giveHow she balanced academics + interests + sports as kids got olderWhen and why she started testing (and what she learned)How her kids handled the culture shock of college environmentsA practical framework every family can use: Dojo • Cafeteria • LibraryA “well-kept secret” resource: Learning Unlimited (Saturday classes taught by graduate students)If you’re new to homeschooling—or you’re deep in the weeds—this conversation will help you zoom out and build a homeschool that’s less about checklists and more about raising capable, grounded kids who know how to learn. 🎹 Have your kiddos learn piano from this amazing resource, check out: Simply Piano.
