Homeschool Course for Parents
Homeschool with confidence — without figuring it all out alone.
A self-paced course that walks you through every decision — from "what’s legally required in my state" to graduating high school — in bite-sized lessons you can finish in under two hours.
Plus access to mini-courses on specialized topics.
Combat the Overwhelm.Homeschooling doesn't have to mean researching for six months before you feel ready to start.
Most new homeschool parents get stuck in the same place: too many curriculum options, too many philosophies with names you've never heard, and a nagging fear that you'll pick wrong and your kid will fall behind. Add in questions about legal requirements, socialization, and what high school even looks like at home, and it's easy to stay stuck in research mode instead of just starting.
This course exists to get you unstuck — one short lesson at a time.

What You'll Learn
Every lesson is intentionally short, so you can watch one on a coffee break and actually make progress — no multi-hour commitment required.
Tabitha Helms, instructor
1. Introduction
Meet Tabitha and get oriented on what the course covers.
A clear breakdown of every legal path — Private School Affidavit/independent homeschooling, plus state-specific options like charter schools, hybrid programs, microschools/pods, and private programs — so you know exactly what you're choosing between.
2. Types of Homeschool
Plain-English explanations of Classical, Montessori, Charlotte Mason, Waldorf, Unit Study, Traditional, Unschooling, and Eclectic approaches — so curriculum shopping actually makes sense.
3. Teaching Philosophies & Methods
Build your own mission statement for homeschooling — the thing that keeps you grounded when people question your decision or things get hard.
4. Find Your “Why”
A step-by-step process for narrowing down the overwhelming number of options, including the honest tradeoffs between all-in-one and piece-it-together approaches.
5. Choose Your Curriculum
How to pace your curriculum, pick a school-year calendar, design your ideal daily rhythm, and build in self-care — plus real numbers on how long "school" actually takes each day by grade level.
6. Plan Your Schedule
A direct answer to the socialization question, plus concrete ways to find co-ops, pods, classes, and your family's built-in community.
7. Build Your Community
Credits, record keeping, A-G requirements, dual enrollment, testing, and graduating early — everything you need to set up your teen for whatever comes next.
8. High School & Beyond
Real talk about the mental load of homeschooling, comparison, hard emotions, and how to keep going on the tough days.

Most of the legal-path content (PSA, charter schools, A-G requirements) is California-specific, since that's Tabitha's direct experience — but the course notes links for out-of-state requirements where relevant, and the curriculum, philosophy, scheduling, and community lessons apply no matter where you live. Additionally, Tabitha can tailor your plan to your state with 1:1 consulting.
