🌟 Prepping for a New Homeschool Year: Cast the Vision Before You Plan
As the calendar flips and summer begins to start, there’s a gentle buzz of excitement (and maybe a touch of overwhelm) in the air—it’s time to start thinking about the new homeschool year.
Before jumping straight into buying supplies or mapping out units, it’s worth pausing to ask a simple, powerful question:
What do I want this year to feel like?
Homeschooling gives us the rare gift of shaping our children’s learning in a way that reflects not just academic goals—but heart goals, too. That’s why one of the best ways to begin preparing for a new school year is by first taking time to contemplate your vision.
Start with Vision, Not a Checklist
Before you worry about which curriculum to use or how to fit everything in, ask yourself:
What matters most to me in our homeschool this year?
What does growth look like—for my child and for me?
What rhythms and routines helped us last year? What felt draining?
Where do we need more structure? Where do we need more freedom?
How can I bring more peace, joy, or wonder into our days?
These questions don’t require fancy answers. Just a quiet moment, a favorite pen, and an open heart.
And when you start with your vision, everything else—lessons, pacing, priorities—can fall into place with clarity and purpose.
