Learn to Merge Life with Homeschooling
Are you one of the many parents who is so worried about possible “holes” in your children’s education that you busy yourself with academics to the point of burnout?
Have you lost the enjoyment of everyday family life because of the mistaken idea that learning must take place strictly through curricula and academic pursuits?
Do your children lack the time to pursue the things they love because “doing school” is more important?
One of the secrets of education is that it is happening everywhere, in everyday life, often without our awareness.
So just what exactly is Lifeschooling? In a word, it is about freedom. But here is a more complete definition:
“Lifeschooling is the individualized process of discovering your child’s God-given gifts and talents through real life experiences that happen within the context of your family’s unique situations and missions.”
On the Life as a Lifeschooler podcast, Danielle Papageorgiou will seek to explore this definition in all its aspects, and to bring exposure to the educational value of the simple things we do every day with our children. In this podcast, she will interview other lifeschoolers, as well as popular homeschool leaders to discuss the idea of lifeschooling and what it looks like in various family situations. Some of her favorite guests are the “homeschool pioneers” who educated their children quite differently than according to the traditional model…wisdom that has been largely forgotten in today’s homeschool culture.
Danielle has been homeschooling, or “lifeschooling,” for 14 years and started the biennial Lifeschooling Conference in 2016. She has a passion for helping other homeschoolers learn how to homeschool in a way that does not compete with family life, but actually enhances it and draws out each child’s unique gifts.
Her desire is to see more families set free from the world’s expectations of what education is and to discover that God has made each family unique and has also placed in each of their children special gifts and desires that He wants to use. The verse that guides the Papageorgious in their pursuit of lifeschooling is Matthew 6:33, “But seek FIRST the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and ALL these things will be added to you.” (Emphasis mine).
Won’t you come join us as we return to the “ancient paths” (Jer. 6:16) of education and explore this idea of “lifeschooling” together? Experience the freedom to live life as a lifeschooler!
