"In many places it is literally not safe physically for youngsters to go to school. And in many schools -- and it's becoming almost generally true -- it is spiritually unsafe to attend public schools." - PRESIDENT BOYD K. PACKER, BYU, 1996

Every home is a homeschool. Some families have only a few minutes of family time each day; others have many hours to be together because the children are educated at home instead of at school. Although this website is designed for full time homeschoolers, we hope all families will find ideas here to make their homeschool happier. Before the Savior comes, the children will come home. Homeschool Philosophy Religion - Reading - History - Constitution Early Utah LDS School Books Recordings of LDS-HEA Conferences Family Health Mothers Speak I was sitting on the floor with my oldest daughter the first time she read a word. She was sooooo proud of herself! I called my husband, who was at work at the time, bawling my eyes out because I got to be there to see the glow on her face when she knew she could read. I still get tears just remembering how magical that moment was. Since then there have been several amazing moments I am glad I didn't give away to a professional teacher. I get to be the one to see my kids with the "light bulb" moments as they learn. - Pam Opp,UT    more What Homeschool Looks Like It looks like family! It looks like Family Home Morning, a devotional, with hymns, scripture study, and prayer - and everyone's awake. It looks like mom reading aloud from great books. It looks like children working alongside a parent, learning to do their share in support of the family. It looks like family serving their neighbors on a Saturday morning and then playing together for the rest of the day. These are the kinds of things every good family does, but some families keep going.   more An LDS Education for LDS Children Is there an LDS education? Is there a curriculum the Lord would have us learn? A method He would have us use? Is there an educational path to Zion? The Book of Mormon tells us to "trust no one to be your teacher nor your minister, except he be a man of God, walking in his ways and keeping his commandments" (Mosiah 23:14). But what are His educational ways?   more Principled Patterns of Education Education, like everything else in the kingdom, is based on principles. We need to create our family educational plan spiritually first. Ideally, a couple ought to do this before they are married. Realistically, (for the 99.9% who didn't) we can start now to make changes as we go, "step by step, minute by minute," until we find ourselves prepared to join the City of Enoch when they come to meet us. more coming soon But What About Socialization and Missionarying?

"A millennial society will emerge in our future; we can either resist or contribute to its development. The basic stewardships that will push this movement into the future reside in each family. Our society will change as our education changes. . . . individuals from many families must do the creative work. . . . As this education is firmly established, temporal excellence in learning will blossom and Zion will increase in beauty and in holiness; her borders will be enlarged, her stakes strengthened, and she will put on her beautiful garments (D&C 82:1-4). And the children will be taught through an agency approach to education."              - NEIL J. FLINDERS, TEACH THE CHILDREN: AN AGENCY APPROACH TO EDUCATION, BYU, 1990
