The River Houses

A National Network of Local Homeschool Societies

🏡 WELCOME! (Pinned Post)

First time visitor? We post a wide range of easy-to-use educational ideas and “little lessons” that will enrich your homeschooling schedule all through the year. Please subscribe to our free homeschool newsletter! (It’s just one message a week with no spam.)

There’s a wealth of wonderful material here on our website — everything from homeschool astronomy to books and libraries to language and literature to geography, natural history, homeschool calendars, and more. The materials we’re developing are going to become the foundation for a new type of homeschool network made up of friendly local groups called “Houses” (just like in Harry Potter). Make yourself at home! 😊

Our June roundup of some recent academic research and news about home education in the United States and around the world, with links to sources. We have four items this month, on homeschooling and college; homeschooling in Malaysia; the meaning of success in homeschooling; and homeschooling and music.

🖋 🇺🇸 WONDERFUL WORDS (and Music!): “O! say can you see?”

“Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam, / In full glory reflected now shines on the stream — / ‘Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave / O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.” (Our American homeschool poem-of-the-week, from Francis Scott Key, for Flag Day, the 14th of June.)
