This section of Christian Homeschooling Articles on scholarship progresses through the three seasons of homeschooling. As you read through the seasons, I hope you…

• perceive how these two broad aspects of education—skills development and knowledge acquisition—build upon each other and change over time; and

• discover the underlying, hidden benefit of your decision to homeschool your children:
  Your increasing discipline
  will enable you, Mom, to grow in
  personal skill development and knowledge acquisition
  with your children.
