Hi Chelle! Actually my kids and I enjoy having a summer break. It lets me deep-clean the house and set up the homeschool for the new school year. The older kids have projects they pick up for the summer such as Japanese, guitar, programming, or writing. If you’re wondering about the 180 days, between catching up extra work on Friday and educational projects during the summer, we do school related activities more than 180 days a year. 🙂

Does this mean that you school year round? I didn’t do the Math, sorry, I thought it easier just to ask as this really interests me!

Are you looking for the curriculum we’re using this school year? Here’s the post. 🙂

It’s a real blessing to be able to have an extra day free for field trips, appointments, and activities! 🙂

This is our 2nd year homeschooling. I run a daycare as well (from home) so I take clients only 4 days a week as well. This way all my aptmts/field trips and errands are all on Fridays and it works amazingly well. Rarely do we do school on Fridays unless we need to catch up. We use Sonlight so we take a 5 day program and cram it into 4 days; very easily so far I might add. We love the schedule. We do ballet every Fri am for my daughter (age 6) so it’s nice to have her in a homeschool class with just a few kids.

I love the idea of 4 weeks on and 1 week off. That’s another awesome homeschool schedule. 🙂

Yes, I realized it was confusing. It feels like a 3-day week to the kids, especially when they have extra time for their personal projects. 🙂

That’s what I’ve found. We’re still learning, but it’s in favor of the extras that are easily skipped…. or the kids spend the day working on their personal projects such as programming, writing novels, and building robotic lizards. 🙂
