By Marisa Pullan So what does a day in the life of a homeschooler look like? That's actually a pretty loaded question because the answer is entirely relative to the homeschooler you're talking about. A better question might be "what opportunities are available for my homeschooler so I can build out our days?" Your child might be an athletic child and would thrive in sports. With that, you can check out homeschool organizations like the Austin Royals or the Wilco Falcons if you happen to live in or around Austin. The Royals and Falcons both also have quite the fan following! If your child tends to flow more towards the arts, then you could check out homeschool-friendly classes at places like Cordovan Art School or the Art Academy of Austin, just as a couple of options. There are also musical organizations such as the Christian Youth Band of Austin and CAPA Austin for choir. Let's say science makes your kid's world go round. If that's the case, there are a few science-oriented opportunities in the area to include Howdy Bots, AAH-Science, NASA, and the Austin Homeschool Science League. These teams are great if your child loves the sciences. Eclectic options might be more your style, so look at the assortment of co-ops, one-off classes, and other fun learning opportunities that are out there. There are SO many depending on what you're looking for with your child. Your day may very well include a random co-op and an art class among other things! To answer your question of what does a day in the life of a homeschooler look like, it depends on what your child enjoys and what you want for your child as well. If you happen to be a more academic-focused homeschooler, then your days will reflect that. If you desire to be more relaxed about homeschooling, then your days will probably involve lots of freedom for your children. Once you add in the extras, that's what YOUR day will look like. There's a good chance that no one else's day will look like it, and that's okay. Click here for a list of available opportunities in the greater Austin area. This list will change periodically, so please check back often. Also, if you have any other opportunities that you would like to have listed or included, please leave a comment so we can be sure to add you to the list.
