The Enchanted Homeschool
12-Week Course and Full-Color Book
"The only words that ever satisfied me as describing Nature are the terms used in the fairy books, 'charm,' 'spell,' 'enchantment.' They express the arbitrariness of the fact and its mystery. A tree grows fruit because it is a magic tree. Water runs downhill because it is bewitched. The sun shines because it is bewitched. I deny altogether that this is fantastic or even mystical." - G.K. Chesterton
In a world where magic is real and enchantment awaits around every corner, welcome to The Enchanted Homeschool, a 12-week course and full-color book that brings whimsy and wonder to your children's education.
Like a letter from a wizarding school, we invite you to bring the same sense of magic into your homeschool days. Without delving into any dark themes, we’ll immerse ourselves in the magic and wonder of the natural world around us through 60 captivating and hands-on lessons.
These activities are meant to be carried out each weekday for 12 weeks, but you can complete them at your own pace or even pick and choose to suit your schedule. You'll also receive a 152-page, full-color book in the mail to accompany the online course. Let’s take our children back to the place where they belong. It’s time to bring them home.
Note: Due to mailing costs and failure rates, we are no longer able to ship the book to any other country besides the USA and Canada. You can still purchase the course; however, we are unable to ship the book overseas.
