“I want to start a lawn care business,” Joshua tells his dad. Grandpa encourages him to make business cards. Mom helps him open a savings account. But unexpected expenses come up, the old-fashioned reel lawn mower Joshua wants is hard to find, and something sad happens that affects the whole family. With each disappointment, Joshua learns patience and perseverance. Good things really are worth working and waiting for.

Homeschooling takes resources, relationships, community, and, as you know, persistent diligence. At the same time, homeschooling is entirely possible and very rewarding.



But even the most competent parents weren’t meant to do it alone. The load of homeschooling gets heavy. It can feel isolating. There are directions to figure out, decisions to make, and days when you’re simply running low.



If you already have that support in place, consider it a gift. If not, whether you’re looking for community, guidance, or practical help, here are a few places to start:



HSLDA – The Home School Legal Defense Association offers legal protection, resources, and advocacy for homeschool families.

State homeschool organizations – These groups provide local guidance, events, and up-to-date legal information.

Local co-ops – Co-ops bring families together to share teaching, offer group classes, and create space for children and parents to connect.

Facebook homeschool groups – Online support groups offer a way to get immediate answers from other homeschool parents as well as encouragement from and connection with others in the same season. And if you’re a regular user of Christian Light material, the parent-led Christian Light Facebook Group is a great place to start.

Christian Light Academy – Christian Light Academy is an accredited recordkeeping and diploma program designed to support homeschool families. Get help with records, testing, diplomas, and more.



As always, we’re here to come alongside you whether or not you are enrolled in Christian Light Academy. If you have questions or want to talk through curriculum questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

🆕 NEW RELEASE!

Hosanna is different, and she knows it. Her friends know it too. But they don't know about the shame and fear hiding behind her closet door—the chaos she works desperately to conceal behind a spotless room and painted-on smiles. As Hosanna learns to accept help and stop hiding her struggles, she discovers that her differences aren't flaws to be ashamed of, but part of how God made her. A fictional story.

Thousands of families have successfully transitioned to Christian Light. You can too! Here are tips:



Transition only one or two subjects at a time.

Adjusting to a new curriculum takes time. Expect bumps in the road and allow extra time for lessons in the first weeks.

Schedule extra time for helping your student in the first few weeks. Review lesson material with them until they are more familiar with the concepts and format.

Remember that it is totally fine for a student to work in different levels in different subjects.

Call our support line to talk with an academic counselor. We will be happy to assist you. Call: 800-776-0478, option 2.
