    I frequently see people asking: How to homeschool in Ireland? The first talk I listened to about home education about seven years ago was “Hold on to your credit card” and I am very grateful that it was.

A little blog to bring awareness of the Classical and Charlotte Mason approach to home education (home schooling) to Irish families by showing how my family use this style: how we supplement, substitute and adapt US curriculum; include Irish history and geography; information on books fitting this approach available in our libraries; local resources and the wonderful local field trips available.

I hope to come alongside you as a friend on this journey sharing what I have learnt and what others have shared with me.  I hope to support you in enjoying this journey of discovery we are both on.
