Christ Church, Oxford, UKThe ability to travel outside of school-vacation weeks is one of the benefits of homeschooling. Take advantage of off-peak travel deals, if you can. Then, during school holidays, consider enrolling your child in one of the many enrichment programs offered by local museums, libraries and other organizations. This week, for example, Allegra is attending a solar-energy workshop for middle-school students, while I am catching up on household chores (and enjoying long coffee breaks). In February, Allegra attended a marine science program. These programs not only enhance your child’s education, but also offer a much-needed change of pace for you and your child.
Allegra's take: We all need a break and a change of scenery once in a while, and vacations and enrichment programs are the perfect way to do it. The programs can also give a chance to see other students your age and end the isolation brought on by homeschooling.
