Creative Schooling Solutions: Episode 35

Oliver and Silas working on our kitchen remodel as they learn about engineering and construction

Should you send your children to school? If so, what type of school? Should you homeschool them? Would you maybe like to get the best of both worlds?

Educating our children is one of our most important duties as a parent and sometimes we need to get creative to come up with schooling options that feel right.

Earlier in the school year, we did a podcast episode about how to choose the right schooling options for your family and I mentioned that we were doing a hybrid of homeschool and regular school with our twin 8th graders this year. I received a lot of questions and requests for further details about what we were doing so I sat down with my boys, Oliver and Silas, to record a podcast episode about what we are doing this year and how it’s been going.

I hope this episode will spark some helpful ideas for you as you consider the best schooling options for your children and family.

About Saren Eyre Loosli

Saren adores her five energetic, adventurous kids (ages 13-18) but doesn't totally adore the mess and busyness and bickering that that comes with them! She grew up all over the world, got her Bachelor's degree at Wellesley College and did her Masters in Education at Harvard University (these days, the diplomas on her wall mostly serve as visual aids when she's trying to convince her all-too-smart teenagers that she DOES know a thing or two!). She went on to design and implement enrichment programs for kids and training programs for teachers. But it was only after she finally found her wonderful husband, Jared, and had five children in five years, that her education and work experience began in earnest!

When she's not trying to answer five - or six - different needs and questions at once, she works on this website (she's Founder and Director of Power of Families).

She currently lives in Ogden, Utah and loves reading, hiking, and biking with her family (or by herself when possible!). She often struggles with balance but finds joy in being involved in many things that are meaningful to her.
