Zero to Homeschooling in a few clicks:

This handbook is the written version of the “Zero to Homeschooling: A primer on Parent-Directed Education” seminar that Families of Faith has given regularly since its inception in 1994. It does not attempt an explanation of all of the possible philosophies of education, but is more simply a breakdown of the three major decisions you will have to make to legally and successfully school your children at home. It starts with the basic question of “Why educate at home?”, and, ultimately, who is responsible for your child's education. Next, the legal overview is covered in detail. Basically, what do you have to do to be legal in Florida? If you do not reside in the state of Florida, we recommend contacting your local school board or the Home School Legal Defense Association to find out what steps you have to take to meet the requirements in your state. Finally, we talk about what types of books and curriculum are available and how to use them, including specifics of when and for whom they work the best.

Additionally, the Families of Faith Christian Academy handbook provides details of the services we offer, from simple record-keeping and testing to full classes and tutoring. The school handbook details how FFCA can benefit your “homeschooling” experience, not by taking over, but by becoming your partner.
