Your Very Own Homeschool NameGive your home school a formal identity with a homeschool name!
Homeschool kids sometimes miss going to regular public or private school. They miss getting on the bus, and going where all the other kids are... even if the place everyone ends up is... school?! Some homeschooled children, older ones usually, hate the "Where do you go to school" question because they may feel embarrassed when they have answer "I don't go to school", or "I'm homeschooled." When homeschooling your children, giving an official name to your school will unify and provide an identity for your children.
When you give a real name to your school, your kids won't have to give that boring reply, "I'm homeschooled", but instead can respond enthusiastically with your homeschool name. :) Naming Your HomeschoolWhen thinking of a name for your homeschool, invite your child/ren to participate. They will love to come up with fun (and often silly) names.Write down all your potential names. As you think together, talk about the goals you have for your homeschool, why you are homeschooling and what's important to your family. Think about past memories that you have had together and what was special about them. Look at landmarks on your property or around your home and incorporate them into your school name. For example, your house may be situated between two huge oak trees, a pine grove may grow in your backyard, or you may have a beautiful view of some maple trees from your school room window. Some good names might be Twin Oaks Homeschool Academy, Pine Grove Home School, or Mapleview Home Learners.
