Conclusion

Several of these chapters include information that is hotly debated in the homeschooling curriculum. For example, parents are always debating what’s best in homeschooling high school. Should teens sign up for dual enrollment classes? Should they try to get their AA degree in high school? What do colleges really think of homeschooled college applicants? Of course, I don’t have all of the definitive answers, but I have talked to homeschool admissions counselors from major universities, and also included personal examples of homeschooling high schoolers. In Homeschooling Simplified, you’ll find both my personal experience, as well as the experience of others that I’ve learned along the way.

If you’re like me, I know you love to read reviews. What are people saying about this book?

This is a great book! It’s broken down by various topics, so you can pick and choose what you need. Whether you’re brand new to homeschooling or you’ve been at it a while and are navigating older kids- it’s got great guidance. I really like that it’s printed in color with lots of lists and illustrations. It’s also highly structured, so you can bounce around easily to look for specific info. Honestly- it makes homeschooling much more manageable and approachable! Great book!

Amber has a wealth of knowledge related to homeschooling. She was my go to person when I was considering making the change from public school. Now she has simplified the process and has shared it with us all! I can’t think of a better and more successful person to help us with the ins and outs of the process. Thank you Amber and congratulations!

This book is a gem! After years of homeschooling, I felt I was just going through the motions and not feeling my most effective. It’s a quick read with lots of practical information that seems easy to apply. I’m excited about homeschooling again! Wish I had this book years ago— I read many but none were as user friendly as homeschooling simplified.

I hope I can add your review to this list soon enough! If you’d like to learn more about me, I’d love for you to come visit me on Instagram. And feel free to drop into my DMs to say hello!
