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! 😊

🗓 💪 HAPPY CROSS-QUARTER DAY of Hercules Term

We divide the homeschool year into four three-month terms, and the midpoint of each term (following old calendrical tradition) is called the “cross-quarter day.” Today, July 16th, is the cross-quarter day of Hercules Term, our summer term in the River Houses. How are things going in your homeschool?
