Unschooling Resources

We are often asked what are our go-to resources for natural child-directed learning. Although unschooling must be child-led, we believe, as 2nd generation unschoolers, it is our responsibility to cultivate an atmosphere of learning by providing (but not forcing) a broad range of resources.

There are seemingly endless resources your child can utilize for learning. These are just a few we recommend. Listed below you’ll find links to some of our favorite unschooling resources that our kids regularly use and love!
