Homeschool with Purpose: Honouring our Values & Priorities

Let’s discuss how we can plan for our upcoming homeschool year so we can homeschool with purpose.

Aimee Otto is married to her high school sweetheart, Nick. Together, they homeschool their two children, ages 9 and 11. When Aimee’s not homeschooling, she loves reading, walking, and being in nature.

She leads the Homeschool Compass community where she encourages families to step off the mainstream path and embrace the freedom and flexibility in their homeschools.



Consider your core values when you’re homeschooling…

In this episode, Aimee Otto and I discuss what she’s learned about her kids and herself this past homeschool year and how to homeschool with purpose.

You get to have a seat at the homeschool table too.

Specifically, we discuss…

  • that we recognize that our homeschool plans need to serve us and our homeschool kiddos
  • the gradual learning that our children are very different & that we need to engage them as such
  • we need to get quiet, by ourselves, pray, reflect, and consider what is most important for the homeschool year
  • that aligning our values with our practical homeschool activities is a necessity so we must first determine what those values are)
  • and that prioritizing the most important things in our homeschool is required because time is moving quickly as our children continue to grow up
