More military families are turning to homeschooling to maintain consistency during frequent moves. Whether you're new to the idea or already in the swing of it, here's what you should know about homeschooling as a military family.
📚 It’s More Popular Than Ever
Homeschooling has grown significantly among military families due to the flexibility it offers across states and deployments. It’s a powerful way to take control of your child’s education, especially if you’re moving mid-year or to areas with school district challenges.
📍 Know the State Laws
Homeschool regulations vary state to state. Some require notification and testing, while others offer more freedom. Use resources like HSLDA.org or reach out to your local homeschool support group to learn what’s required where you're headed.
👥 Find Support Groups at Your New Base
Most bases or nearby communities have homeschooling co-ops or groups. They can provide curriculum advice, socialization opportunities, and emotional support as you adjust.
💼 Set a Routine That Works for Your Family
Homeschooling doesn’t mean recreating a traditional classroom. Embrace the flexibility! Military life comes with its own rhythm, and your homeschool can too—whether that means field trips during off-peak hours or integrating military history into lessons.
🏡 Choose a Home With Homeschooling in Mind
If you’re house-hunting, think about space for learning—extra bedrooms, bonus rooms, or even outdoor areas that can serve as your classroom. Your MIL-Estate agent can help you prioritize those needs in your search.
Homeschooling and military life can go hand in hand—you just need the right plan and a strong community behind you.
