An HSLDA Special Report on military homeschooling in an overseas environment. As home schooling becomes more popular across America, more and more military and Department of Defense (DoD) civilian families are turning to this educational alternative.

There is a cognitive dissonance about public schools. Everyone knows public schools in the US are terrible, but everyone thinks their school is the exception. The reality is that your school would be the exception only if it teaches using project-based learning. Which it doesn’t. The public schools that are exceptional are exceptional at teaching to the test – a process that’s widely discredited. Give your kids more credit than that. Reformers say child-driven learning and project-based learning are best. Parents are the only educators in a position to do that. So all kids will get a better education at home. 

The homeschooling community is wide and diverse, yet there is one question that almost every parent has been asked during the years they school their children at home. “What about socialization?” We are led to believe that if we don’t put our children in public school, they will be missing out. They will become social misfits. Homeschooling means they will be stuck inside all day, having no opportunity for socialization. But true socialization comes from interacting with the world around them and having the freedom to explore and make true friendships.

The Moore Foundation works hand-in-hand with homeschooling parents providing individualized curriculum, educational materials, and unit studies for homeschool along with aid in learning disabilities, and gifted education.  Dr. Raymond and Dororthy Moore were homeschooling pioneers who contributed to the body of research on homeschooling in the late 1960s and early '70s. Their philosophy emphasizes that children,e specially boys, need individualized attention, using a no-stress approach. High success comes when close individual attention is paid to the needs of the student, following their interests, and allowing them to mature at their own rate.
